When a party challenges a court's evidentiary ruling, what is the standard of review?

When a party challenges a court's evidentiary ruling, a different standard of review applies. "Generally, we review the trial court's rulings regarding the admissibility of evidence under the deferential abuse of discretion standard. [Citation.]" (Molenda v. Department of Motor Vehicles (2009) 172 Cal.App.4th 974, 986.) We will disturb a discretionary court ruling "only upon a showing of a clear case of abuse and a miscarriage of justice. [Citation.]" (Ibid.) We review issues of law de novo. (Garcia v. Department of Motor Vehicles (2010) 185 Cal.App.4th 73, 82.)
