Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:84A-43

  • Common law: The legal system that originated in England and is now in use in the United States. It is based on judicial decisions rather than legislative action.
  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Statute: A law passed by a legislature.
To the end that rules dealing with evidence may be conveniently presented and arranged, the Supreme Court may publish compilations and restatements thereof which may include, in addition to such rules as may be adopted pursuant to this article, rules established by common law, statute, constitution or otherwise, together with editorial notes, tables and references, and with indications as to the source of each such rule. Where practicable or desirable, the numbering and arrangement of such publications shall conform to standard or uniform works on the subject, or provide cross-reference thereto.
