Getting my students ready for mock trial state competition and this exception gave us fits.This video cleared a lot of the confusion for this rarely used exception. Thank you.

Actually, this rule comes up quite a bit in real and mock trials because parties regularly have an interest in presenting the statements from the parties on the other side of the case.

The example with the gf was what I was looking for, thanks so much. Studying for the bar and this kept tripping me up. Appreciate your videos :)

Thank you for the greaat video! Just had one question: Is it also okay to use it in cross examination? for ex) prosecutor to the defense witness: the defendant told you this --
@professorporter Жыл бұрын
Yes. The rules don’t distinguish between direct and cross. So long as it’s said by the defendant and offered by the prosecution.

Pls clarify what is meant by party opponent. Thank you
@professorporter Жыл бұрын
“Party opponent” is a phase that comes from the rule and it means the other party. If you represent the plaintiff, than the defendant is the party opponent. If you rep the defendant, then the plaintiff is the party opponent.

What do you mean when you say "done deal" thrown out? Or allowed? Very confusing 😕

“Done deal” means it’s admissible

What does "game over" mean? Is it hearsay or not?! Pretend I'm not a law student, and just trying to understand party-opponents before I go to court.

Game over = admissible. The jury is permitted to hear it
