admissibility of evidence

Admissibility of evidence refers to whether information or objects can be legally presented and accepted in a court trial. For evidence to be admissible, it must be relevant to the case, obtained legally, and reliable. The court evaluates whether the evidence helps prove or disprove aspects of the case without violating rules or rights. If evidence is deemed inadmissible, it can't be used in court, often to ensure fairness and that only trustworthy, appropriate information influences the judge or jury's decision.
