Re: How confident do you feel?
Can you refresh with hearsay?
Investigator takes a video wants to admit it? Right to privacy was one of them don't remember what the others were or what I put ¿
Was the police officer considered an "expert"
Dog food can label question? SL or no?

Re: How confident do you feel?
Well hey. It is what it is.
If I were to make a breakdown of my answer choices:
20 - probably correct (felt that they were clear, and I knew the law)
50 - reasonably good chance correct (I knew the issue being tested, narrowed to 2 "correct" answers, felt at least somewhat stronger about the answer I chose).
85 - crapshoot (knew the legal issue, but didn't know the exception. Narrowed down to 2 answers based on process of elimination of incorrect statements of law, and basically flipped a coin).
20 - probably incorrect (very likely I chose a distractor, or I didn't know the general law being tested)
25 - almost certainly incorrect (based on confirmatory post-analysis/discussion)
So...there we have it. Who knows what outcome?

Re: How confident do you feel?
Yes. If truly used as prior recollection refreshed. Doesn't get introduced into evidence and the W cannot testify from it. Must be W's own personal knowledge. The item/hearsay merely triggers W's OWN knowledge.Therealellewoods27 wrote:Can you refresh with hearsay?

Re: How confident do you feel?
all i know is that hypothetically speaking, a cop cannot use a report for PAST RECORD RECOLLECTION if the report was written by his partner and the cop did not adopt it. so if the cop is given something to refresh, and he still can't remember, and tries to read out the report under past record recollection, under the above circumstances, he cannot do so.YalteseFalcon wrote:Yes.

You can use anything to refresh.
Edit. Of course you have to adopt. I don't remeber the question in the exam but I believe the hearsay was adopted and was allowed to be used as hearsay as it was adopted by the cop as he was at the scene.

news press has no right to state prison execution, public has a limited right.

you can use anything to refresh provided opposing counsel can review, but u cannot use a statement to replace your memory if u did not write it or adopt it.happyhour1122 wrote:Only in criminal.yankeeman86 wrote:all i know is that hypothetically speaking, a cop cannot use a report for PAST RECORD RECOLLECTION if the report was written by his partner and the cop did not adopt it. so if the cop is given something to refresh, and he still can't remember, and tries to read out the report under past record recollection, under the above circumstances, he cannot do so.YalteseFalcon wrote:Yes.

The cop was at the scene. His Co officer just wrote it as he was also at the scene. I believe it was adopted and was used properly.

I chose LL liable because stairs were only way.Therealellewoods27 wrote:Tenant climbs broken stairs, no other way to her aptarment, a second stair breaks causing injury. T assumed risk or LL liable since the stairs were the only way to her apartment??
Also in my head was the general rule that LLs are liable for common spaces.

Re: How confident do you feel?
I know you can use ANYTHING to refresh a witness's memory. It doesn't matter- it could be a flower pot for all they care-- b/c it's not being admitted into evidence so as long as witness says "hm i can't recall" attorney can be like well *insert document* Does this jog your memory witness? And then under 612, the document is taken away and the questioning resumes.
This is how refreshing recollection is different from PRR- the former is not being admitted into evidence so the rules are relaxed, the latter is a hearsay exception so the rules are stricter because PRR has to be something a witness wrote herself.

Re: How confident do you feel?
agree, under the above hypo, the cop cannot assert PRR because he did not write it nor adopt it. if the facts say "another cop wrote it, cop then adopted it" it would be much more clear. another cop, not even a partner wrote it and there was no adoption. thus PRR cannot be used.cnk1220 wrote:I know you can use ANYTHING to refresh a witness's memory.

Hmm. I remember this one. If I remember correctly, the one answer that spoke specifically to the rape shield law was a misstatement of law.Therealellewoods27 wrote:Rape shield apply or not? None, of the answers really fit the exception?
I don't recall the other answers, nor which I chose.

As to the Erie question, I think I also chose state law, because privilege I believe to be a substantive matter.yankeeman86 wrote:i thought there was no federal privilege for this. either way i chose state cuz it was diversity.Therealellewoods27 wrote:Ex wife called to testify.
