Not only do the Federal Rules of Evidence control in civil trials in Federal court, but most states - 42 of them - have more or less copied the Federal Rules for their own state courts. Unfortunately for all of you, four of the eight states that have not done so are California, New York, Massachusetts, and Illinois. So probably three quarters of you will wind up working somewhere where this isn't the case. That's too bad.
[Post-spellcheck addition] I just spelled "Massachusetts" right on the first try, for possibly the first time ever.
