Book Review

Read a pretty good family law book over the holiday weekend.  The book is "The Family Law Trial Evidence Handbook" by Steven N. Peskind.  You can get a copy from the ABA bookstore.  It is pretty good and gave me some new ideas on certain evidentiary issues.  A lot of the book seems to be more of a copy and paste of the Rule of Evidence and then a brief discussion of some examples of how to use the rules in the family law context.  The book is a little pricy and in my opinion needed more substance to it as far as examples.  However, it will make you think more about trial preparation and how the rules may affect your trial preparation.
