Abstract
Professor Park examines the hearsay rule's health and its prognosis. In addition to analyzing hearsay doctrine, he reviews survey data, reversal counts, and other quantitative information. He concludes that the rule excluding hearsay retains significant influence. However, features of the institutional environment may weaken its influence. These features include fear of crime, the decline of jury trials, and the proliferation of expert witnesses.
