Evidence: Using an Old Supplement

Post by twowordsforcouch » Wed Feb 03, 2016 10:09 pm

Would it be a bad idea to use an old (from 2007) supplement or Evidence? I have a long drive coming up and am thinking about picking up the Sum and Substance lectures, but they're a little old. Not sure how much this topic has changed in the last decade.

Should be fine for the majority of it

I can't imagine it would be meaningfully different. Evidence is pretty static.

Only thing I could think of was social media, and even then most classes won't even address it

I guess what I mean to ask is whether or not the Federal Rules of Evidence have changed much over the last 10 years or so. I know they went through a major stylistic revision, but I'm not sure if their substance has changed much.

*needs source* so don't quote me on this but I think the whole point of the Garner-led revisions was to make the rules more comprehensible without changing the substance of them at all
