A Defender’s Guide to the 2024 Federal Rules of Evidence Amendments [Engage & Exchange]
On December 1, 2024, important changes took place to the Federal Rules of Evidence: A brand-new Rule (FRE 107-Illustrative Aids) and three amendments that impact our practice became effective (FRE 613(b)-Extrinsic Evidence of a Prior Inconsistent Statement; FRE 804-Statements Against Interest; and FRE 1006-Summaries to Prove Content). This presentation discusses the substance of those amendments, ways we can use them to our advantage, and traps to be avoided. This presentation also previews changes that are in the works in the world of federal evidence.
