The Federal Rules of Evidence

The Federal Rules of Evidence are a set of rules that govern how evidence is handled in federal courts in the United States. They determine what types of evidence can be presented, how it can be used, and the standards for its admissibility during trials. The rules help ensure that evidence is reliable, relevant, and fair, protecting both the rights of individuals and the integrity of the judicial process. Essentially, they provide guidelines to make sure that trials are conducted fairly and that the evidence considered by judges and juries is trustworthy.
