In Evidence 101, I will cover relevancy and character evidence. We'll start out with specific problems related to the two types of relevancy:
• Logical relevancy and discretionary
• Policy-based relevancy
From there, we'll delve into character evidence and explore the differences between character evidence in civil cases and character evidence in criminal cases. We'll walk step-by-step through the rules and I will provide you with some basic examples to illustrate the rules so that you can develop a practical, working knowledge of each.
