Rules of Evidence: Relevance
Federal Rules of Evidence: Relevance In General. When dealing with relevance, you should be thinking in terms of both logical relevance and legal relevance. The distinctions are basically outlined in the rules of evidence. Below please find selected provisions of the Federal Rules of Evidence for relevance. If you have any further questions or concerns and need the services of an attorney, please feel free to contact a lawyer in our Orange County office for a consultation with an attorney.
‘‘Relevant evidence’’ means evidence having any tendency to make the existence of any fact that is of consequence to the determination of the action more probable or less probable than it would be without the evidence. Generally speaking all relevant evidence is admissible. Evidence which is not relevant is not admissible. Although relevant, evidence may be excluded if its probative value is substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice, confusion of the issues, or misleading the jury, or by considerations of undue delay, waste of time, or needless presentation of cumulative evidence.
