Naval Justice School Evidence Study Guide. Revision
Abstract
This study guide is a primary resource in the Naval Justice School course in military evidence. The purpose of the course is to enable military attorneys to provide professionally competent legal services in matters involving substantive and procedural evidentiary matters. Specifically, at the end of the course, the military attorney will be able to develop correct legal analyses and solutions to evidence problems. This process involves two basic legal skills which will be developed in the course: (1) accurate identification of the issues in a given factual situation; and (2) correct application of principles of military rules of evidence. This study is also intended to be a convenient reference for use by Navy and Marine Corps judge advocates. While this study guide does not discuss all possible evidentiary issues, it provides detailed discussion of the fundamental concepts of military evidentiary law and projects probable developments of evidentiary law in currently unresolved areas. Contents: Introduction to the Law of Evidence; Discovery; The Military Rules of Evidence; Substitutes for Evidence; Relevancy; Privileges; Witnesses; Hearsay; Documentary Evidence; Physical Evidence; Presentencing; Admissions, Confessions, and the Right Against Self-Incrimination; Search and Seizure; Confrontation, Compulsory Process, Eyewitness Identification, and Immunity; Opening Statements and Arguments.
