Answer to Question 1

The hearsay rule and its many exceptions help ensure that testimony is reliable and accurate. In most instances, testimony based on out-of-court statements is considered unreliable. Such out-of-court statements do not allow cross-examination when they are made.

Answer to Question 2

There are four basic types of evidence: the testimony of a witness, exhibits, facts that the attorneys have stipulated, and judicial notice. There are two types of witnesses: lay witnesses and expert witnesses. There are three types of exhibits: actual evidence, documentary evidence, and demonstrative evidence. Stipulations are undisputed facts when the parties, through their lawyers, enter into agreements that are written for the court or are
read to the trier of fact. Judicial notice is an action taken by the court; the recognition by the court of the existence and truth of specific facts that are universally accepted or are public records.
