Preface

The Best Evidence Rule, contained in Article X of the Federal Rules

of Evidence (Rules 1001-1008) and state counterparts, is a Rule that

requires a party seeking to prove the contents of a writing, recording,

or photograph to produce the original (or a duplicate) or account for

its nonproduction. Through a series of cases and hypotheticals

drawn from actual cases, this chapter gives readers a roadmap for

how to address any Best Evidence Rule issue in practice.
