Welcome back to the Bar Exam Toolbox podcast! In this episode from our “Listen and Learn” series, we cover a category of evidence called “non-hearsay,” which is tested often on both the MBE and on Evidence essays.
In this episode we discuss:
- A quick review of what is considered hearsay
- Categories of statements deemed non-hearsay
- When to consider hearsay exceptions
- Analyzing two Evidence essay hypos, from the July 2005 and July 2007 California bar exams
