RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Case

Evidence
Proof of fact(s) presented at a trial. The best and most common method is by oral testimony; where you have an eye-witness swear to tell the truth and to then relate to the court (or jury) their experience. Evidence is essential in convincing the judge or jury of your facts as the judge (or jury) is expected to start off with a blank slate; no preconceived idea or knowledge of the facts. So it is up to the opposing parties to prove (by providing evidence), to the satisfaction of the court (or jury), the facts needed to support their case. Besides oral testimony, an object can be deposited with the court (eg. a signed contract). This is sometimes called "real evidence." In other rarer cases, evidence can be circumstantial.

Better rule of law
Unlike Currie's governmental interest analysis, which called for the lex fori in conflict of law cases, or functional analysis, which weighs one government's interest against the other to resolve conflict cases, Robert A.

These criteria were criticized for being excessively subjective, and thus unpredictable.
