About this episode

Welcome back to the Law School Toolbox podcast! This episode is part of our "Listen and Learn" series, where we review legal concepts and apply them to fact patterns. Today, we're covering a commonly tested topic from Evidence, and that is hearsay.

In this episode we discuss:

  • What are the rules of hearsay?
  • Non-hearsay and exceptions to hearsay 
  • Analyzing two Evidence questions, from the July 2003 and February 2016 California bar exams
  • How to qualify a statement as hearsay
  • Tips for memorizing concepts you're studying
