THE ADMISSIBILITY OF EVIDENCE

The major question that must be answered about evidence in a courtroom setting is: What types of evidence may properly be brought to the attention of the trier of fact (the judge or the jury) and what uses may the trier of fact make of the evidence that it is permitted to consider? This is the essence of the admissibility of evidence. There are a number of rules that determine what evidence may be admitted and under what conditions. Most of the rules of evidence govern admissibility. There are fewer rules that govern how a judge or jury may use evidence that is admitted properly. The consideration of what uses a jury can make of admitted evidence is beyond the scope of this book. We will consider only the question of admissibility here. The rules of admissibility of evidence provide a framework to help preserve the integrity of the evidence.
