Admissible evidence, in a court of law, is any testimonial, documentary, or other evidence (law) that may be introduced to a factfinder - usually ajudge or jury in order to establish or a bolster a point put forth by a party to the proceeding. In order for evidence to be admissible, it must be relevance (law), without being prejudicial, and it have some indicia of reliability. For evidence to be relevant, it must tend to prove or disprove some fact that is at issue in the proceeding. However, if the utility of this evidence is outweighed by its tendancy to cause the factfinder to disaprove of the party it is introduced against for some unrelated reason, it will not be admissible. Furthermore, certain public policy considerations bar the admission of otherwise relevant evidence. For evidence to be reliable enough to be admitted, the party proffering the evidence must be able to show that the source of the evidence makes it so. If the evidence is in the form of witness testimony, the party introducing the evidence must lay the groundwork for the credibility of the witness, and his knowledge of the things to which he attests. Hearsay is generally barred for its lack of reliability. If the evidence is documentary, the party proffering the evidence must be able to that it is authentic, and must be able to demonstrate the chain of custody from the original author to the present holder.
