Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Voir dire (English pronunciation: / vw r d r/) is a phrase in law which is derived from Anglo-Norman. In origin it refers to an oath to tell the truth (Latin verum dicere), in other words to give a true verdict. The word voir (or voire), in this context, is an old French word meaning "truth" (Latin verum). It is unconnected with the modern French word voir, which derives from Latin vid re ("to see"), though the expression is now often interpreted by false etymology to mean "to see [them] say". In the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and sometimes in the United States of America, it refers to a "trial within a trial." It is a hearing to determine the admissibility of evidence, or the competency of a witness or juror As the subject matter of the voir dire often relates to evidence, competence or other matters that may lead to bias on behalf of the jury, the jury is removed from the court for the voir dire.
