Uniform Rules of Evidence

The Uniform Rules of Evidence are standardized guidelines that courts follow to decide what information can be considered in a legal case. They help ensure that evidence is handled fairly and consistently, allowing legal parties to present relevant, reliable, and admissible evidence. These rules specify how evidence should be collected, what types of evidence are acceptable, and how to evaluate its trustworthiness. Their goal is to create a fair process for determining the truth in legal proceedings, reducing confusion and disputes about what evidence can be used.
