Course Description

This seminar will provide a focused, practical exploration of Chapter 6 of the Michigan Rules of Evidence, Witnesses, with particular attention to two important provisions: MRE 608, governing a witness’s character for truthfulness or untruthfulness, and MRE 609, addressing impeachment by evidence of a criminal conviction. In addition, the program will examine the chapter as a whole, highlighting the rules that shape how examinations are conducted and the threshold competency requirements a witness must meet to testify, equipping practitioners with guidance they can apply directly in court.
