Thank God for Graham Lilly

I recently took evidence with one of the worst teachers in the history of the legal profession. Thank god Lilly's book is clear, thorough, and resourceful.

Solid Book From A Students Perspective.

I found this book very useful both during law school and at my summer clerkships. While most states, or at least a good portion, have adopted something similar to the Federal rules on evidence, this book provides help understanding that tradition as well as the common law. This book does a really good job of providing a summation of either without proving too difficult to learn from or to sit with for extended periods of time. The only concern I would raise is if your state or the one you practice in goes clearly one way it may be better to buy the specific hornbook for your state. But for me, I'm not sure where I am going to end up for the bar so reading both sides has helped me tremendously.
