Evidentiary Foundations provides sample lines of questioning that demonstrate how to lay the foundation for admitting various kinds of evidence. It also includes a brief discussion of the underlying legal principles, based on modern common law and the applicable Federal Rules of Evidence.

Edward Imwinkelried's Evidentiary Foundations has sold more than 125,000 copies in its publication life. This time-tested evidence treatise covers all the major evidentiary doctrines, and includes expert analysis of statutory developments along with discussions of the presentation of hard copy exhibits in court using document cameras and the presentation of digital exhibits using monitors or projection screens. Detailed explanations of evidence principles include:

• A brief description of the pertinent Federal Rules of Evidence and the most recent leading cases construing the Rules
• A list of foundational elements-the events and facts you need to lay a complete foundation
• An illustrative foundation showing how each question relates to a particular element of the foundation
