A quick definition of rules of evidence:

Rules of Evidence: These are guidelines that help determine what information can be used in a court case to prove or disprove a claim. There are two main types of rules of evidence: Evidence and Federal Rules of Evidence. These rules help ensure that only reliable and relevant information is presented in court.

A more thorough explanation:

Rules of evidence refer to the guidelines and principles that govern the admissibility and use of evidence in legal proceedings. These rules are designed to ensure that only relevant and reliable evidence is presented in court, and that the rights of all parties are protected.

For example, in a criminal trial, the prosecution may present evidence such as witness testimony, physical evidence, and expert opinions to prove the defendant's guilt. However, the defense may object to the admissibility of certain evidence if it is irrelevant, unreliable, or obtained illegally.

The Federal Rules of Evidence are a set of rules that govern the admissibility of evidence in federal courts in the United States. These rules cover a wide range of topics, including hearsay, authentication, and privilege.

Overall, the rules of evidence play a crucial role in ensuring that legal proceedings are fair, just, and based on reliable evidence.

Hey just wondering how to filter data by international Gpa? Can't seem to find this filter option
9:40
There’s no intuitive way to do this. The only way I can find is by going to each individual school, scrolling to the part that shows you all applicants for that year, and clicking on the GPA button until it filters them for the blank ones first. I’ve found by clicking on profiles that the ones with an LSAT listed and no GPA are almost universally international
