Content Highlights
Conceived and developed by the Boyd-Graves Conference Evidence Committee to equip judges and attorneys with a handbook of exceptional accuracy, A Guide to Rules of Evidence provides easy access—in one place—to the principles governing evidence law in Virginia, which are embedded in 200 years of case law, numerous statutes, and the Rules of Evidence.
In the 2026-2027 edition of this concise and best-selling publication, the text of the Rules of Evidence is amplified by the Evidence Committee’s notes, references to related statutes (as updated through the 2026 session of the General Assembly), and annotations up to the most recent court decisions. The tabbed format, table of authorities, and index provide convenient ways to quickly consult points of Virginia evidence law and procedure.
“A Guide to Rules of Evidence provides a concise synthesis of Virginia’s governing evidentiary principles to be used in preparation of cases and at trial. The notes accompanying each Virginia Rule of Evidence give important alerts on issues and developments, along with citations of all of the cases applying each rule.” – Kent Sinclair, author and Project Reporter for the Evidence Committee of the Boyd-Graves Conference
