Hey FF:

You know, I kinda thought I was the grand master, or queen, or something like that. I'm pretty bummed
out by the apparent demotion.

Ah... a lesson on the rules of evidence. Welcome to the land of fun and frolic.

Each jurisdiction will establish 'rules of evidence'. Usually they look sorta like the Federal rules,
but not always. Federal court is different than state court is different than traffic court is
different than, say, the Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission. Each comes with its own
Rules.

Take a look at this link at Cornell:

http://www.law.cornell.edu/rules/fre/overview.html

Most of your questions are addressed there. (Johncodie, that is Cornell, not Corndog)

A tricky scenario, though maybe applicable in johncodiethecrazyengineer's case, is what happens when
the plaintiff, defense, witness, judge and jury are all the same person. AND and argument breaks out.
Haven't figured that one out yet.

Best Regards,

Mary
