Nemeth (legal studies, California U. of Pennsylvania) presents an introductory overview of evidence law for undergraduate or graduate students in any of the fields he lists, noting that it tends to be litigation driven and neglected by theorists because it moves directly from the street to the courtroom. The textbook covers real evidence, demonstrative evidence, documentary evidence, lay witnesses, expert evidence, admissions and stipulations, motion practice and evidence, and trial evidence.
