Simple English definitions for legal terms

on the record

Read a random definition: praesumptio

A quick definition of on the record:

On the record means that something has been officially recorded as evidence in a legal proceeding, like a trial or deposition. It can also mean that a statement is intended to be quoted or attributed to someone. When used before a noun, it should be hyphenated as "on-the-record." The opposite of on the record is "off the record."

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: When a statement, comment, or testimony is recorded as official evidence of a proceeding, such as a trial or deposition, it is said to be "on the record." It can also refer to a statement that is intended for quotation or attribution.

For example:

  • During the trial, the witness gave an on-the-record testimony about what she saw on the night of the crime.
  • The politician made an on-the-record statement to the press about his stance on the controversial issue.

In both examples, the statements are being recorded and can be used as official evidence or quoted in news articles. The phrase "on the record" is often used to distinguish between statements that can be attributed to a specific person and those that cannot.
