259: Listen and Learn -- Relevance in Evidence

The Law School Toolbox Podcast: Tools for Law Students from 1L to the Bar Exam, and Beyond

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series. This time we're focusing on relevance -- a very commonly tested Evidence topic.

In this episode we discuss:

  • The Federal Rules of Evidence
  • Relevance and admissibility
  • The two basic kinds of relevance
  • Determining the evidence in question, the fact of consequence, probative value and prejudicial effect
  • Analyzing two essay questions, from the July 2005 and July 2009 California bar exams
  • Why you have to be as specific as possible when it comes to answering questions on relevance
  • Remembering to use the word "because" when you write, which will force you to explain your reasoning
