Term: ORE TENUS
Definition: Ore tenus is a Latin term that means "by word of mouth" or "verbally." It is used to describe a legal proceeding or evidence that is presented orally in court, rather than in writing. This means that the information is not written down, but is instead spoken and heard by the judge or jury. It is important to note that ore tenus evidence is subject to the same rules of admissibility and credibility as written evidence.
