Product Description
This set of CDs includes a 7 hour lecture on Evidence and a 19 page handout. For the Law School Legends Audio Series, we found the truly gifted law school professors most law students can only dream about - the professors who draw rave reviews not only for their scholarship, but for their ability to make the law easy to understand. We asked these select few professors to condense their courses into a single lecture. And its these lectures youll find in the Law School Legends Audio Series. With Law School Legends, youll get a brilliant law professor explaining an entire subject to you in one simple, dynamic lecture.

Good coverage of basic topics June 29, 2008
I would recommend this audiobook for someone interested in a basic overview of the most common topics in Evidence law. As admitted by Rossi himself, the lecture is not intended to encompass all the topics nor any one topic in great depth. However, he does a very good job in covering the basics. In short, his lectures are a good starting point as supplemental material. He seems to do particularly well in setting a scenario and discussing the practical aspects of the applicable rule.
Since each CD contains only one track approx 1 hr long, finding a specific topic on the disk is very inconvenient.
 Buy Sum and Substance Instead February 4, 2008

I read the reviews for this CD series and the Sum and Substance series for evidence, after having a good experience with Sum and Substance Torts. I bought law school legends evidence and later decide to buy Sum and Substance since I wasn't getting as much out of law school legends as I would have liked. I much preferred the sum and substance one as it was better organized and easier to follow. Also, Sum and Substance has more tracks, so you can find and listen to the explanation of specific concepts again without having to search for a concept within the 1 hour tracks you'll find on the law school legends evidence series. Also, the outline that comes with law school legends evidence is too superficial to be of any help. All that said, this CD in and of itself is helpful, just not nearly as helpful for me as Sum and Substance.

Rossi is good at explaining the concepts and some of the mechanics of the rules, and the Italian accent makes it entertaining. All the essential topics are there. He takes long pauses, though, and the CDs don't go into a ton of detail compared to what is in an Evidence course. Freer's Law School Legends Civil Procedure CDs set a high bar, so it is tough to compare.
 Bar Exam Lifesaver October 26, 2006

I found Faust Rossi through BarBri, he gives the evidence lectures for their Bar Review classes. Honestly, I got nothing whatsoever out of my Evidence class in law school; a combination of a huge ampitheatre style room and an unengaging professor. Rossi made Evidence sensical and approachable, especially if you're from the NY area or a fan of shows like the Sopranos his stories are great. He is excellent about giving practical application for the theories he explains (Vinnie whacks Sal; can Vinnie's mom be made to testify she saw him buy the gun the night before and say 'I am going to whack that botchagaloop Sal, capiche?')
If you're still in Law School and slipping behind in Evidence, or if (like me) you got through law school without actually learning anything about evidence and you're faced with the Bar, these are great CDs to add to your collection, and definitely worth the (admittedly rather high) price.

This lecture covers all the major topics tested on the MBE and most likely your Evidence course. Professor Rossi's explanations of the rules are clear enough to understand while driving your car. His hypotheticals to help explain the rules actually appear in a few of the practice multiple choice questions I did and may appear on your exam (as they did on mine). What's more, the hypotheticals truly develop the rules, and Professor Rossi makes them funny and strange so that they'll stick in your head come exam time. Actually, a few times I burst out laughing from the hypotheticals (guess it doesn't take much to humor a stressed-out law student). The more I listened to this lecture the more my understanding of the subject grew. Well worth the time and money spent.
