Professor Emeritus Clifford Fishman's newest book, A Student's Guide to Relevance, Character, Habit, and Impeachment, has been published by Carolina Academic Press. Relevance is the basic concept of evidence law. Professor Fishman, who taught evidence for 41 years at The Catholic University of America Columbus School of Law in Washington, D.C., covers the entire subject—including conditional relevance, inferences, direct and circumstantial evidence, and order of proof—in all its applications, particularly character, "other acts" evidence, and habit. The book then covers every aspect of impeaching and rehabilitating a witness's testimony: perception; memory; narration; prior consistent or inconsistent statements; and potential bias or motive to lie. In other words, this book covers Rules 104–106, 401–415, 607–613, and 801(d)(1) of the Federal Rules of Evidence.

(Professsor Fishman also claims it is one of the funniest law books ever written.)
