Evidence is my bitch

Seriously I sent an email to the guy who does my lectures correcting a mistake in his evidence outline. His sample answer had a mistake as well. Admission by party opponent and prior witness statements are not exceptions to the hearsay rule. They are NOT hearsay. There is a difference between saying the Prior Witness Statement is admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule and the Prior Witness Statement is admissible because it is not hearsay. The difference? The first one is wrong.

If the bar exam was Civil Procedure, Criminal Procedure, Con Law Trial Ad and Evidence I would pass with flying colors. Through in Torts and Family Law and I'd do pretty well. It's when you get to Contracts, Property, Admin Law, Agency/Partnerships, Sales, etc that I run into trouble.

The bar was the only time at which I was actually able to understand Property. Took some time, but I got it finally. The rest...not so much...
