Program Summary

In this presentation, I will discuss the basics of laying a foundation for the admission of evidence, providing tangible tips and example trial examinations for establishing each of the five core foundation elements, including the rule against hearsay and its many exclusions and exceptions. I will then apply this framework, with practical examples, to common types of modern digital evidence, including business records, social media, and other ESI.

Key topics to be discussed:

  • Foundation: The basics
  • The Rule Against Hearsay (and Its Exceptions)
  • Laying Foundation for Business Records, social media, and other ESI
