Book Description
Hearsay is a difficult rule of evidence to understand and apply in the practice of law. This treatise on hearsay will be invaluable for students, practitioners, and judges, or anyone involved with the law of evidence. The book begins by explaining the basic concept of hearsay using both time-tested and brand-new ways of seeing and understanding the subject. It then takes a foundational approach in explaining the exclusions and exceptions to the hearsay rule by presenting the foundational elements the law student must know, the foundational facts the lawyer wanting admission must show, and the facts the lawyer trying to block admission must defeat. Extensive "Use Notes" in each chapter explain how to use or manipulate these foundational elements. Additionally, the author explains important hearsay exceptions that are found in the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure and how to make them work. Discussions of how to use opinion evidence, judicial notice as a hearsay exception, and hearsay to get into the evidence of an incompetent witness are helpful for any interested reader. Hearsay also includes discussions of and commentary on ways in which the rules of hearsay can be manipulated to advance the advocate's goals and on the many ways various rules interrelate.

THE BEST HEARSAY BOOK OUT THERE !!!!!.......2005-08-15
This book is the sleeper of the 2ndry sources on Evidence-hearsay, this is simply an excellent book on the topic - uses a standardized approach to every hearsay exception + policy. THe other kickin read on Evidence is the latest Gilberts, Professor Goodes Sum & Substance CD's + Professor Goodes "Court Room Evidence Handbook" - by Thompson-West - the most succinct & lucid mini-evidence treatise. Finally, the www.Cali.org lessons are an infinite resource of drill problems with solutions. Should also mention the ExamPro on evidence is pretty good - but Cali is better.
Good Content, Well-Organized.......2003-01-07
This is a good book. Use it as a supplement in your Evidence class and you'll know hearsay as well as anyone.
This man knows Hearsay!.......2002-10-09
I spent hours reading this book. It is very interesting. I am not a law student, a judge or an attorney. It is definately worth the reading.
Excellent Resource for Students.......2002-10-07
I used this book last year in my Evidence class and it was very useful in learning the hearsay exceptions. The book includes "foundational elements" for every exception, so it makes it very easy to analyze any hearsay issue.
The book also includes some unique approaches to hearsay---including how to use an expert witness to get into evidence a hearsay statement that is otherwise inadmissible; and how to use the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Criminal Procedure to get into evidence hearsay statements that are otherwise inadmissible.
This book was a huge reason for my success in my Evidence class last year. I definitely recommend it to other students.
The Best Hearsay Book on the Market!.......2002-09-11
This book is an excellent resource. As a recent law school graduate, I have used this book for both school and work. It was a tremendous help in preparing for my Evidence exam in law school, and I have used it as a reference several times for my work in private practice.
I highly recommend this book to all law students, trial lawyers, and even judges.
Book Description

standards for human testimony?.......2005-03-01
It always struck me as odd that anyone would accept what are clear contradictions in the gospels regarding the events surrounding the alleged resurrection as proof that the events really happened--that this is evidence of a story not contrived and agreed upon afterwards but indicative of the various subjective perspectives each writer brought. Aside from the fact that the various accounts are too different to be attributed to this prior notion, Christians have a bigger problem; for they believe that the bible is the word of God and is authored not by man but God. As such, there is no room for contradiction or the hoped-for subjective perspective. In a nutshell, the standards for human testimony can simply not be applied to an alleged "inerrant word of God."
I give this book two stars instead of one because it has value to the "Josh McDowell" type Christians who think they can intellectualize their sky-daddy myth into credibility. With this book on their bookshelf, they'll sleep easier at night. Two stars for being a myth-keeper!
More -- And Less -- Than Advertised.......2004-05-20
This volume isn't exactly what one would expect from the title on the cover. The book is not an extended analysis of the Gospels, but a collection of essays, only one of which (Greenleaf's "Examination of the Testimony of the Evangelists") makes any attempt at rigorous analysis of the Gospels. Greenleaf adds a second essay on "An Account of the Trial of Jesus," and this slim volume is rounded out by "The Jewish Account of the Trial of Jesus" by Joseph Salvador, "The Trial of Jesus before Caiaphas and Pilate" by M. Dupin, and "The Various Versions of the Bible" by Constantine Tischendorf.
A Testimony Of The Testimony.......2003-05-20
This is an excellent book for all types of people, Christians and non-Christian alike. It is especially good for those who believe they are the intellectual type. I work in the legal field, and so I found this book to be a clincher for even the most hard hearted skeptics. If they would just set their bias aside and truly absorb what this author is saying, there won't be any doubt that the evidence of the Evangelist is reliable.
This is a book I challenge my friends and coworkers to read because we deal with evidence people submit daily, seeking a benefit through this government agency. We are legally bound to recognize all applicants are "prima facie" eligible until proven otherwise through testimony and evidence. And so, we are trained to recognize what makes good evidence and what makes bad evidence. The Gospels are good evidence, unimpeachable.
I have actually gone back and purchased additional copies of this book so that I can give them out to people who need to hear it from a legal scholar with impeccable credentials. It's a very easy book to read. It can be digested in a matter of two or three hours, and its inexpensive as well, costing less than ten bucks.
Simon Greenleaf lays everything out so well, it is truly easy to follow his logic. If you are a skeptic about the Bible, doubting its authenticity, this book will explain to you why you should accept the Gospel accounts as fact, because their testimony is clear. Jesus is God incarnate as the Gospels attest. If you read this book, then this knowledge about Jesus is now in your head, and I pray that God the Holy Spirit will place it in your heart.
Lies briefly rebuked.......2002-11-23
The fact that the resurrection stories are claimed to contradict each other may seem so to someone who does not take the time to actually look at the evidence. One needs to not only look at the Biblical text and find that they are simply subtly different, as one would find in any group relaying a similar story. We also have to look at the culture of the time and other historical works - that are purely works of historians. Authors such as Josephus and a few other historians from the time period and the surronding regions. When one fully looks at the evidence, Biblical, historical, archaeological, scientific, and philosophical this book is greatly upheld.
Legal Rules of Evidence Examine the Gospels.......2001-02-10
Greenleaf is well known throught jurist history as providing instruction on rules of evidence. Now that we have court tv and have witnessed some amazing trials, we understand more how what is allowed in as evidence is critical to a trial.
Here in this work this jurist expert analyzes the Gospels as being admissable. Think about it for a moment. In any given historical situation, if four different individuals were asked some time after the event common to all of their attendance to write an accurate report, the same result would happen as we find in the gospels. Stress on different events with highlights of differing focus on common happenings by multiple witnesses would occur.
Alledged contradictions thus fall aside given that each of us admits that this is just the way it commonly happens. We would be much more suspect if each of four witness accounts matched up exactly word for word. Collusion would be charged! Here though God gives four different slants through four Evangelists who do this very thing: they give different emphases and differing slants on the same event.
Bonus attachment is Dupin's "Trial of Jesus Before Caiaphas and Pilate." Interested parties might also check out Paul Maier's "Pontius Pilate" and "Flames of Rome."

the author communicates in a convoluted fashion...like a tenured professor in law school who is under no pressure to teach anything. the editors clearly were looking to take up space.
no summary of every section includes the whole section.
