Massachusetts Proof of Cases, 2022-2023 ed.

Massachusetts Proof of Cases is a two-volume encyclopedic treatment of the elements of substantive law that must be proved in order to prevail in civil or criminal cases in Massachusetts. Volume one covers a wide variety of civil law and procedure topics. Volume two covers criminal law, as well as some aspects of the law of evidence and the major issues that may arise in proving civil and criminal causes of action. Focused on Massachusetts rather than federal law, the work includes:

• Hundreds of brief summaries of fact patterns from Massachusetts cases, so you can more readily find a fact pattern analogous to the case you're working on

• Cross-references to the Massachusetts Guide to Evidence released by the Supreme Judicial Court‘s Advisory Committee on Massachusetts Evidence Law

• A table of cases and a table of laws and rules
