Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! Today, we have another episode in our "Listen and Learn" series. This time we're focusing on relevance -- a very commonly tested Evidence topic.

In this episode we discuss:

The Federal Rules of Evidence
Relevance and admissibility
The two basic kinds of relevance
Determining the evidence in question, the fact of consequence, probative value and prejudicial effect
Analyzing two essay questions, from the July 2005 and July 2009 California bar exams
Why you have to be as specific as possible when it comes to answering questions on relevance
Remembering to use the word "because" when you write, which will force you to explain your reasoning
