 First-class evidence review December 7, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
While I agree with first reviewer that more reference to FRE rules by number would be helpful, I think this gets 5 stars. Helping it all to come together. And this lecturer is mildly entertaining, so this is not QUITE as dull as it could be. Highly recommended.
Well done, and interesting. October 31, 2005

Overall, this set of CDs is well done. Professor Rossi is interesting, well-spoken, and keeps the listener interested for what can be a dry subject. He uses examples that are coherent and consistent and easy to understand and his pacing is well-suited to taking notes, though it would help if you can type--I can't.
The production values are high, it comes in a nice case, it is professionally recorded and transferred, and there is a five-year guarantee on the CDs themselves. No worries there.
I don't know why the Amazon page says (did say?) "limited availability--out of print," the lecture is brand new and readily available.
I would have given these lectures 5 stars except for two things: the 19 page handout that comes as a file on one of the CDs, and the rules themselves. It is obvious that whoever wrote the outline initially did NOT have Professor Rossi review it for accuracy or coherence. There are a few glaring, substantive errors, and the writer misses some important stuff. It's really too short, and it's only 19 pages because it is double-spaced--nowhere near enough space to take notes in--but I suppose it looks nice. I used it as a starting point and filled it in from there; it is almost 40 pages, single-spaced.
Additionally, although Professor Rossi assumes that you've had Evidence, and it is pretty easy to determine when he is talking about a specific rule, it would have been clearer had he sprinkled the rule he was discussing into the lecture more often. This is a minor complaint, but it would have tied the lecture to the classroom more efficiently.
Overall, well worth the seven hours spent listening to it, and a great way to improve your knowledge of Evidence. Good luck in law skool!
