Professors Mueller and Kirkpatrick are also co-authors of the hornbook Evidence, as well as the statutory supplement The Federal Rules of Evidence.  These two books prove to be extremely useful resources not only to Evidence Under the Rules, but to any Evidence coursebook.

The Federal Rules of Evidence is uniquely useful: all of the Rules are first presented in the front of the book without their legislative history, then presented again with their history in the second part of the book.
