Hearsay Evidence in the context of Juvenile and Family Law
Definition ofHearsay Evidence, published by the National Council of Juvenile and Family Court Judges: Second-hand evidence, generally consisting of a witness’s testimony that he heard someone say something. Though there are numerous exceptions to the rule – often expressly provided by statute, as in the case of a number of state juvenile court acts allowing hearsay evidence in social studies presented to the court – hearsay evidence is generally inadmissible because the person making the statement is not available for cross-examination, and because it is inherently unreliable.
