As every attorney involved with litigation knows, keeping current on the Rule of Evidence is not an option. The Federal Rules of Evidence dealing with character evidence were amended December 1, 2000. While the change is not a major one, just how long has it been since you reviewed the rules with regard to the use of character evidence? If you're like most attorneys you know enough to stay away from any appearance of using character evidence for fear of "opening the door." But are you ready to make a proper objection should your opponent begin asking questions about a parties" "reputation" or "trait of character"? This course is intended as a general refresher in the concept of character evidence. Its goal is to make you rethink the rules regarding character evidence and brush off any cobwebs that may have embedded themselves in your trial practice, both criminal and civil.
