2002 Florida Courtroom Evidence Manual.

Stetson University College of Law Distinguished Professor of Law Emeritus William R. Eleazer and the University of Cincinnati Professor of Law Glen Weissenberger authored the 2002 Edition of the Florida Evidence Courtroom Manual, published by Anderson Publishing Company. The manual includes all the changes to the Florida Evidence Code through the 2001 Florida Legislative Session.

The manual is tailored to allow for fast access to answers to a number of evidentiary questions. The manual accomplishes its purpose by providing multiple avenues for locating needed information. A user may locate a topic through the quick-reference index at the front of the manual; through the more comprehensive index at the back; through the Florida Evidence Code, which is printed in its entirety; or the section locator on the back cover, which directs the user to a particular section of the manual.

The manual provides a starting point for additional research. Every chapter addresses a section of the Florida Evidence Code and sets forth the recent case law dealing with that particular section of the Code. Also, at the end of each chapter is a bibliography with additional authorities.

Finally, the manual provides the authors' commentary on the section of the Code discussed in a particular chapter, guidance in interpreting the Code section, and tips on applying the provisions in the courtroom. There is also a comparison of the Florida and Federal rules in each chapter.

The 967-page 2002 Florida Courtroom Evidence Manual is available for $72.50 by visiting www.andersonpublishing.com or calling 800/582-7295.
