During the past few decades there has been a decrease in the number of jury trials. As a result, many litigators have little to no trial experience and many law students will likely not represent clients at a jury trial any time soon upon graduating. Moreover, during that same period there has been an increase in the number of arbitrations where the rules of evidence often do not apply. Nevertheless, evidence is taught at every law school and many schools require it. This program will explore whether it remains important to teach evidence to students interested in litigating and whether, given recent trends in the law, we should explore teaching it in different ways and/or emphasizing different topics. The panelists will also discuss innovative ways they have approached teaching evidence. The program will include a speaker selected from a Call for Papers.
