5.1 Evidence: The Only Constant is Change

Tuesday, August 19, 2:30 – 4:00

The rules of evidence are in a constant state of change. Nuances now exist between advice privilege and litigation privilege. What are the consequences for documents covered by the implied undertaking rule? Have the courts written this into the civil law? Is the rule universal between civil and common law? As technology evolves, we discover new evidentiary issues almost daily. How do we deal with this? Are we Americanizing the law of expert witnesses? What is the latest and where do we stand? Hear the answers to these questions and many more.
