1) If you are looking for a proof, you should be very careful about the exact statement. There is more to that statement, right? Don't the ##A_i## need to be a partitioning?
2) If all probabilities are conditional on ##E##, isn't that just another probability where ##E## is the universe and does not need to be included in the notation?

That's just the usual equation with a restriction to ##E## as the universal set or sample space. Given the proviso, as above, that the ##A_i## (when restricted to ##E##) partition ##E##.
