Welcome to Nunn on Evidence!

Welcome to the Nunn on Evidence blog, a running commentary on developments in evidence law across federal and state systems. This space will feature timely analysis of amendments to evidentiary codes, significant caselaw, and noteworthy scholarship.

Despite the relative stasis of the Federal Rules of Evidence and many analogous state codes, evidence law remains a dynamic field, constantly shaped by pragmatic judicial opinions and innovative scholarship. The Nunn on Evidence blog is dedicated to tracking these changes, offering engaging commentary for practitioners, academics, and students who navigate this complex domain.

Ultimately, the goal of Nunn on Evidence is not simply to report on new developments, but to analyze and evaluate them. Each post seeks to clarify the practical implications of a proposed new rule, contextualize a judicial opinion within the broader framework of our evidentiary regime, or engage with novel arguments raised in a recent law review article. Most importantly, Nunn on Evidence aims to reignite and promote a higher-order conversation about how to best evolve and improve the law of evidence.
