The Georgia Supreme Court recently cited Ronald L. Carlson's book, "Carlson on Evidence" (co-authored with M. Carlson), in two separate cases. The first case, Sauder v. State, involved the admissibility of a statement made by a defendant in a murder trial. The second case, Pittman v. State, was concerned with defining standards for relevant evidence in a malice murder prosecution.

These citations mark the 74th time that this authoritative text has been used by Georgia appellate courts to resolve evidentiary issues. Ronald L. Carlson is an Emeritus Callaway Chair of Law.
