Some Themes In The Proposed Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul F. Rothstein
Some Themes In The Proposed Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
Although the Federal Rules of Evidence are under consideration by Congress, it is unlikely that many of their major themes will be reversed. The present article examines some of these themes as they appear in the Supreme Court-approved draft. The aim is merely to make more explicit the effects of the Rules and suggest some questions for study.
Evidence: Introduction, Paul F. Rothstein
Evidence: Introduction, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works

For example, police stop-and-frisk authority was broadened (and with it the use of evidence obtained therefrom); the scope of the immunity from criminal prosecution required to be granted by a governmental body before self-incriminatory statements can be compelled from a witness was narrowed; the right to have counsel at line-ups was limited to post-indictment or post-charge line-ups (with a consequent broadening of the use of counselless identification evidence); the preliminary burden of proof on the government to initially prove the voluntariness of confessions was …

The past year's developments in the law of evidence have been characterized by a hardening attitude toward criminal defendants.

The Proposed Amendments To The Federal Rules Of Evidence, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The Supreme Court has approved a uniform code of evidence for all federal courts. Amendments to the Supreme Court's rules are now pending in the House of Representatives. From the point of view of a specialist in the law of evidence, Professor Rothstein analyzes the differences between the Supreme Court's proposals and the House amendments and suggests solutions to these conflicts.
A Re-Evaluation Of The Privilege Against Adverse Spousal Testimony In The Light Of Its Purpose, Paul F. Rothstein
A Re-Evaluation Of The Privilege Against Adverse Spousal Testimony In The Light Of Its Purpose, Paul F. Rothstein
Georgetown Law Faculty Publications and Other Works
The recent development in American federal criminal evidence law to be examined and compared with English law in this paper, is a new evolutionary turn taken by the husband-wife privilege against adverse spousal testimony, manifest in the Supreme Court decision of Wyatt v. United States. The House of Lords, in Rumping v. D.P.P., just decided, suggests that the English spousal privileges might be susceptible of similar development.
