|
InstrumentaThis word is properly applied to designate that kind of evidence, which consists of writings not under seal, as court rolls, accounts, and the like.
RELATED TERMS--------------------------------------
Word
Construction. One or more syllables which when united convey an idea a single part of speech.
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.
Seal
To mark a document with a seal; to authenticate or make binding by affixing a seal. Court seal, corporate seal.
Court
