Question: 1 / 50

What is the best definition of ‘admissible evidence’?

Relevant evidence to a proceeding that has not been excluded by a judge

Admissible evidence refers to any kind of tangible evidence that can legally and properly be used in court to prove a point relevant to a case. This could be physical evidence or testimonial evidence. According to the rules of evidence, for something to count as admissible, it needs to be relevant to the matter being tried, must not be hearsay or fall under another exclusionary rule, and must not be overly prejudicial. This is why the best definition of 'admissible evidence' is 'Relevant evidence to a proceeding that has not been excluded by a judge.' A judge makes the final decision on what counts as admissible evidence in a court proceeding.
