It's one of the most common phrases heard in television courtrooms.  But what exactly is hearsay? Why do judges sometimes exclude it? Why are there so many exceptions? We’ll learn with our guest is Professor Frank Rosenblatt from the Mississippi Christian University School of Law.

Does all this lawyer talk make you want to attend law school? One of our past shows was with MC Law’s Dean John Anderson from Mississippi College. If you’d like to learn a bit about the two law schools in Mississippi, give that podcast a listen.

This attorney also knows a bit about the military. We learned about Military and the law when Professor Frank Rosenblatt was on our show last September. Very interesting and informative.
