extrajudicial oath

Read a random definition: Export Control Classification Number (ECCN)

A quick definition of extrajudicial oath:

An oath is a solemn promise or declaration that what someone is saying is true or that they will keep a promise. When someone takes an oath, they are inviting punishment if they are lying or break their promise. If someone lies while taking an oath, they can be punished for perjury. There are different types of oaths, such as a loyalty oath, which is a promise to be faithful to a particular government or leader, and an oath of office, which is taken by someone before they start working in a public job.

A more thorough explanation:

An extrajudicial oath is a solemn declaration made outside of a legal proceeding or without the authority of law. It is a type of oath that is formally sworn but not taken in court.

For example, a witness may take an extrajudicial oath before giving a statement to the police. This oath is not given in court but is still a solemn promise to tell the truth.

Another example is an oath of office taken by a public official before assuming their duties. This oath is not taken in court but is still a formal promise to perform their duties in good faith.

Extrajudicial oaths are important because they help to establish trust and credibility in various situations. They are taken voluntarily and carry legal consequences if the person making the oath is found to be lying or breaking their promise.
