refreshing recollection

Read a random definition: National Lawyers Guild

A quick definition of refreshing recollection:

Refreshing recollection: When someone remembers something better after being shown a document that describes the relevant events. The document is not used as evidence, but only as a memory aid. This is also called refreshing memory or present recollection revived.

A more thorough explanation:

Refreshing recollection is when a witness's memory is improved by looking at a document that describes the events they are testifying about. This document is not used as evidence, but only as a way to help the witness remember what happened.

During a trial, a witness is asked about an incident they witnessed. The witness is having trouble remembering the details. The lawyer shows the witness a written statement they made shortly after the incident. After reading the statement, the witness is able to remember more clearly what happened and can testify more accurately.

This example illustrates how refreshing recollection works. The document is used to help the witness remember what happened, but it is not used as evidence itself.

There’s someone I found on here with the username threeoutchange and if my understanding is correct that’s a reference to the debut album by a pretty cool 90s-00s Japanese band called Supercar. I geeked a little
