Explanation why this is one of the 3 most important items in my store:

In this video, I go over the Rules of Evidence (ER)... what they are, where I find them and how I use the most important ones to object to and get evidence or testimony thrown out. The ER's that I go over include the most important one:

ER 602 (Personal Knowledge), as well as ER 402 (Relevance), ER 403 (Relevant matters that can be thrown out), ER 605 (Judges can't testify), ER 702 (Expert Testimony), ER 802 & 803 (Hearsay and its exceptions), ER 901 & 902 (Authenticating Exhibits), ER 1101 (when the ER doesn't apply).

This inexpensive video is chocked full of info that you won't get from a lawyer without paying $400 or so, IF they would tell you about it (they would be out of a job if everyone knows how to fight on issues like this). It's cheaper than a consult with James and you get to review and go over it again and again.

If you have an attorney, you want to make sure he/she is on top of this (most of them NEVER object to ER violations that LET your opponent bring in all kinds of INADMISSIBLE "evidence" and the judges listens to it when it should be been blocked at the front door). If you're repping yourself, you definitely need to have all this down, whether it's for a motion hearing or trial. These rules are the screen door that keeps the bugs out. Don't let them swarm inside the courtroom and plant seeds of un-reliable, inadmissible BS in the judge's head to gain an unfair advantage!
