The Evidence Wheel©
Q: What is The Evidence Wheel?
A: It is a 27-page reference guide about evidence. In two pages, it "cracks the code" for every evidentiary issue that can possibly occur at trial during the heat of battle. It provides a Systematic Approach to Evidence to develop Automatic Trial Reflexes and get the lawyer into the Trial Zone. The Evidence Wheel should be kept at counsel table at all times.
Q: Is that really true?
A: Yes. But each evidentiary issue is more fully discussed in the 27 pages of The Evidence Wheel materials. Also, The Evidence Wheel is keyed to The Rutter Group's State and Federal Civil Trials and Evidence Practice Guides.
Q: What is the best way to understand how The Evidence Wheel works?
A1: Read pages 14 and 15 of The Evidence Wheel, which is the "Quick Guide to Using The Evidence Wheel - To Systematically Master The Rules of Evidence and Develop Automatic Trial Reflexes."
- Step 1 - (Answers 80% of all evidence issues) Take every evidence issue through the
seven-prong systematic approach of The Evidence Wheel:
- Relevance
- Foundation
- Hearsay
- Exclusions and Limitations
- Evidence Code §352
- Procedural matters
- Objection to the Form
- Step 2 - If there is still a question, use the color-coordinated pages to provide Code citations
and the exact language of the Codes to read into the record.
- Step 3 - If there are any remaining issues, citations to The Rutter Group's State and
Federal Civil Trials and Evidence Practice Guides are provided to help you find those answers.
A2: Watch the RutterOnline program: The Evidence Wheel
A3: Utilize the Self-Study Guide in The Evidence Wheel - It takes the trial lawyer by the hand through
The Systematic Approach to Evidence to develop Automatic Trial Reflexes.
A4: Utilize the Digital Flash Cards "Fundamentals Which Must Be Overlearned" (a CD provided
with the materials) - These interactive computer flash cards get one into The Trial Zone and help
you develop Automatic Trial Reflexes.

The Trial Wheel is a 50-page reference tool that serves as the trial lawyer's "security blanket" to be kept at counsel table for quick guidance in resolving every legal and procedural issue during the heat of battle in trial.
