Judicial Notice

Judicial notice is a legal process through which a court recognizes certain facts as true without requiring formal proof. These facts are generally well-known or easily verified, such as established laws, historical events, or commonly accepted scientific principles. By taking judicial notice, the court can skip the time-consuming process of evidence presentation for these facts, helping to streamline proceedings. It is used to ensure that the court’s decisions are based on accurate and reliable information that is generally recognized as true.
