Description

http://www.juryinstructions.ca8.uscourts.gov/8th%20Circuit%20Manual%20of%20Model%20Civil%20Jury%20Instructions.pdf 2.04 Explanatory: Judicial Notice is a legal concept that allows a court to accept the truth of certain facts without requiring any proof. It is a type of evidentiary rule which allows a judge to take notice of a fact that is either judicially noticed or deemed to be a public record. This is done for the purpose of expediency, as it eliminates the need for a party to present evidence to prove the fact in question. There are two types of Judicial Notice: mandatory and permissive. Mandatory Judicial Notice is a concept where the court must take notice of certain facts without any proof being presented by either party. This includes facts that are generally known or that can be easily determined from public records. Permissive Judicial Notice is a concept where the court may take notice of certain facts without the need for any proof being presented by either party. This allows the court to take notice of facts that are not generally known or that are not easily ascertained from public records.
