What is
Testimony?
Legal
testimony - legal testimony is a form of evidence that is obtained
from a witness who makes a solemn statement or declaration of fact.
Testimony may be oral or written, and it is usually made by oath or
affirmation under penalty of perjury. Unless a witness is testifying as
an expert witness, testimony in the form of opinions or inferences is
generally limited to those opinions or inferences that are rationally
based on the perceptions of the witness and are helpful to a clear
understanding of the witness' testimony.
Expert testimony - An expert witness provides their opinion about
facts and conclusions within their field of expertise. |
