Course Description
Length: 59min Published: 8/4/2026 
In this comprehensive session on hearsay, trial attorney Mike Deblis III provides an in-depth exploration of the rules and applications of hearsay in legal contexts. Building on foundational knowledge from a previous session, this video focuses on the practical aspects of hearsay, including definitions, examples, and the importance of understanding declarants and statements. Doubless emphasizes the experiential nature of evidence law, highlighting the need for legal professionals to apply these rules dynamically during trials. Through tangible hypotheticals, viewers gain insight into the nuances of hearsay, including the distinction between human and machine statements and the critical role of declarants.
