Evidence
Leonard and Gold (both teach at Loyola Law School in Los Angeles, CA) center their text on the Federal Rules of Evidence, beginning with witnesses and documents, the basics of relevance analysis, then tackling hearsay in chapter three, which serves, they write, to give students lots of time to think about this most difficult topic.

Other chapter topics include privileges, lay and expert opinion evidence, and examining witnesses. Annotation : 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
