A: There are specific rules and procedures for this which unless you are in a Court which allows a relaxed application of the Rules of Evidence, then you will need to follow those rules and procedures. Depending on what the evidence is in whch you seek to introduce often times determines what is required for admission into evidence-----if your matter is contentious, then I would strongly recommend that you seek legal counsel to represent you. Good luck.
