inadmissible evidence

Read a random definition: action at law

A quick definition of inadmissible evidence:

Inadmissible evidence is evidence that cannot be used to prove a party's claim in court. This can happen if the evidence is not relevant, if it violates public policy, if it is protected by privilege, or if it is hearsay. Character evidence is usually not allowed, but there are exceptions. The best evidence rule requires that the original document be used as evidence, unless it is lost or destroyed. Some evidence may be admissible for one purpose but not for another. If evidence is deemed inadmissible, it cannot be used to prove a point in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Inadmissible evidence is evidence that cannot be presented to a judge or jury to prove a party's claim. The Federal Rules of Evidence determine whether evidence is admissible or not. Evidence may be inadmissible if it is irrelevant, violates privilege or public policy, is unlawfully obtained, or if the probative value is outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion, or waste of time.

  • Relevant evidence is admissible, but irrelevant evidence is inadmissible. For example, in a case about a car accident, evidence about the weather conditions at the time of the accident is relevant, but evidence about the driver's favorite color is irrelevant.
  • Evidence protected by privilege, such as attorney-client privilege, cannot be admitted if the holder of the privilege refuses to disclose information. For example, a lawyer cannot be forced to testify about a conversation with their client.
  • Hearsay evidence, which is an out-of-court statement made to prove the truth of the matter asserted, is generally inadmissible unless it falls within an exception or exclusion set out in the Federal Rules or a federal statute. For example, a witness cannot testify about what someone else told them about the case.
  • Character evidence is usually inadmissible, but there are exceptions. For example, evidence of a person's prior criminal convictions may be admissible to impeach their credibility as a witness.

These examples illustrate how evidence can be inadmissible for various reasons, such as being irrelevant, violating privilege, or being hearsay. It is important to understand the rules of evidence to ensure that only admissible evidence is presented in court.

I heard Wyte Claws are outlawed on law school campuses since there are no laws when drinkin claws, hence they defeat the purpose of learning law, is that true?

@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: https://www.reddit.com/r/lawschooladmissions/comments/1jt3hdb/share_of_lsdata_users_that_have_heard_back_from/ Re 87% in that time frame have heard back (of LSD users). So figure 70% of BC applicants use LSD, I would say there is a decent chance you will hear back hopefully soon. IG from the school chat on here there was a recent R wave, so if that was not you, that is a plus
@llama thanks bro just tryna stay positive
in addition to formal LOCIs that I attach to emails, i can also send shorter emails closer to deposit deadlines to express my continued interest, right??
20:29
@HeadyInvincibleRabbit: LOCIs every 4 weeks if you are wait listed is what I have been told. On schools you have not heard from, I have also heard you should not contact them. I disagree: admittance is a binary event [with infinite inputs like ur gpa, lsat, how the adcom is feeling that day, if they like u for whatever reason outside of your control] : you get in or you do not, so if by u emailing them a few times to express your continued interest/ if you have a question, I do not see the issue with that. However, someone else here may say otherwise. Take what I say with a micro grain tho lol
