Excerpt from Summary of the Law of Evidence in the State of New York and Bar Examination While this little pamphlet has been prepared with a view to its general usefulness to students preparing for the New York State Bar Examinations, I feel that a word of explanation as to its primary purpose is necessary. The first part, which is a brief and concise summary, or, rather, classification, of the law of evidence in the State of New York, was prepared by me for use in connection with the Bar Examination quiz classes which I conduct from time to time for the New York Bar Examinations. For this reason it is but a skeleton of the various rules of evidence, and is intended only as an aid to the student, so that he may properly classify the rules of evidence, and in a sense visualize the extent of the field to be covered. Citations have been added only in those cases where the subject is fully reviewed by some leading authority or where some recent modification of the law has been made. The tendency of the Bar examiners in this State to obtain a great deal of the material for their examinations from decisions appearing for the most part in the Advance Sheets and in recently published volumes of the official reports, has made it worth while to prepare in question and answer form a large number of very interesting recent cases, which may profitably be used not only in preparation for the Bar examinations, but also as an independent means of keeping up with the law.
