interrogative question

Read a random definition: absque hoc

A quick definition of interrogative question:

An interrogative question is a type of question asked in a criminal trial that tries to get the witness to say something that is not allowed to be used as evidence in the case. This is different from an assertive question, which is a question that is asked to get information that is allowed to be used as evidence.

A more thorough explanation:

An interrogative question is a type of question that is asked to elicit information or clarification from someone. It is a question that requires an answer and is often used in conversations, interviews, and surveys.

In civil law, an interrogative question is a question asked of a witness in a criminal trial to elicit inadmissible evidence relating to the crime at issue in the case. This type of question is not allowed in court because it is designed to get information that is not relevant to the case.

  • "What is your name?"
  • "How old are you?"
  • "Where were you on the night of the crime?" (This is an example of an interrogative question that would not be allowed in court because it is designed to elicit information that may not be relevant to the case.)

The first two examples are simple interrogative questions that are commonly used in everyday conversations. The third example is an interrogative question that would not be allowed in court because it is designed to get information that may not be relevant to the case. This type of question is not allowed because it can be used to unfairly influence the jury or judge.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
