Publisher Description

In an initiative spearheaded by former Chief Justice Thomas Fitzgerald, Illinois belatedly joined the vast majority of states by codifying its rules of evidence. The code takes effect January 1 and brings a few changes along with the new organizational scheme. Associate Dean for Academic Affairs Ralph Ruebner of the John Marshall Law School in Chicago remembers his view of the state of Illinois's law on evidence in 1986, when he published his first edition of his treatise on criminal evidence in Illinois. "I was very critical back then that Illinois didn't have a code of evidence. It was very difficult for Illinois judges and lawyers to get through a trial without a code."

Not worth $6.00

This is a reprint from an issue of the Illinois Bar Journal of Gunnarsson's article introducing the new Illinois Rules of evidence. The preview shows nothing. Unfortunately, expecting to get a nice compact PDF of the Illinois rules, I bought this. The Rules are not even included. I downloaded Hon. Gino DiVito's great color coded guide instead for free. Save your money and avoid this. I'd like my money back.
