Abstract

Survey of United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit from July 1, 1982 through June 30, 1983. During the survey period, the Fifth Circuit addressed a number of cases interpreting the Federal Rules of Evidence. While the Fifth Circuit entertained few novel issues, the court advanced several concepts developed in earlier cases. The most notable case involved the use of evidence of subsequent remedial measures to prove negligence or culpable conduct.
