Restatement of the Law of Evidence

The Restatement of the Law of Evidence is a legal guide that summarizes key principles and rules used by courts to decide whether evidence is fair and reliable in a trial. It aims to clarify how evidence should be examined, admitted, or excluded, ensuring consistency and fairness in legal proceedings. While not itself law, it serves as an influential reference for judges and attorneys to interpret and apply evidentiary rules accurately and effectively in various cases.
