Side by side comparison charts within the prose were not distorted. There were no issues with navigating the text or viewing any portion of the display. Given the online format of the text, perhaps it could be a hyperlink to an index of answers to the hypotheticals at the end of the text. I would consider adding a brief section after each hypothetical example that answers the question posed in the hypothetical and explains the referenced court case. Hypothetical examples and relevant caselaw are presented in context at the time the topic is being discussed, as opposed to a collection at the end of the text, which allows the reader to consider the material and the example at the same time and in the same place in the text. The author provides a brief history of the Rape Shield Rule and then dissects each subsection of the Rape Shield Rule in order and in comparable depth. The topics are presented in a logical, orderly and clear manner in the text. Similarly, since the author provides hypothetical examples to illustrate aspects of the Rule and provides citations to pertinent caselaw, instructors could easily create discussion board forums, journal questions, or other assessments if desired. For example, an instructor could easily focus on one section for comparison to some aspect of another rule of evidence also being covered in the course. Depending on the intended use, sections could easily be broken out and developed into more focused lessons or discussions by having students read caselaw and discuss fact patterns. In addition to a section on the origins of the Rape Shield Rule, there is a section of the text devoted to a discussion of each subsection of the Rape Shield Rule in order. The text is broken into distinct reading sections. The author maintains the framework and format throughout, discussing each subsection of the Rape Shield Rule in order and in comparable depth. One suggestion would be to add a brief section after each hypothetical example that answers the question posed in the hypothetical and explains the referenced court case. An instructor could use those materials to create engaging discussion board forums, journal questions, or other assessments for students. The author provides hypothetical case examples to illustrate aspects of the Rule and provides citations to pertinent caselaw.

That being said, the text could be a valuable resource for an instructor teaching teaching an undergraduate level criminal justice, evidence, or legal process course. A reader would likely be drawn to this text because he or she already has some knowledge of the topic and desires a more in-depth review or clarification. This does not detract from the text, but rather underscores its intended purpose as a practical guide about a specific rule of evidence for law students and legal practitioners. The author jumps right into the topic with relevant, but limited, background explanation of legal proceedings.

Prose is concise and clear with additional explanation for context where necessary. The text provides a detailed summary of the Rape Shield Rule. The author anticipated certain stylistic changes to Rule 412 that were scheduled to occur after the publication of the text and provided a helpful before-and-after comparison of the language of the text.Ĭontent in the text is up-to-date and the subject matter is such that supplementing the text with relevant caselaw updates would be straightforward and relatively easy.

The text provides accurate information regarding the purpose and content of Rule 412 of the Federal Rules of Evidence. The text provides a good discussion of the various elements of the Rule and importantly, provides detailed discussion of relevant caselaw to illustrate examples of the form and function of the Rule. The Rape Shield Rule is aimed at preventing the admission of evidence concerning the sexual predisposition and behavior of an alleged victim of sexual misconduct, subject to certain exceptions, and thus, has significant implications for both civil and criminal practice. The chapter provides a concise overview of the Rape Shield Rule, contained in Rule 412 of the Federal Rules of Evidence.
