| | Witness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Witnesses are often called before a court of law to testify in trials. | | | The witness should not be party to the transaction, so in the case of wills, the witness should not be one of the beneficiaries. | | | Usually it can be issued by a judge or by the lawyer representing the plaintiff or the defendant in a civil trial or by the prosecutor or the defense attorney in a criminal proceeding. |

| | Expert witness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The use of expert witnesses is sometimes criticized in the United States because in civil trials, they are often used by both sides to advocate differing positions, and it is left up to a jury of laymen to decide which expert witness to believe. | | | The earliest known use of an expert witness in English law came in the 1782, when a court that was hearing litigation relating to the silting-up of Wells harbour in Norfolk accepted evidence from a leading civil engineer, John Smeaton. | | | If the witness needs to testify in court, the privilege is no longer protected. |

| | Witness - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia |
| | Important legal agreements required the attestation of witnesses, as in the case of the purchase of property, or a betrothal (Ruth 4:1-11, where we are told that the ancient form of attestation was by a man drawing off his shoe and giving it to his neighbor). | | | "False witnessing" was prohibited in the Decalogue (Exodus 20:16); against it the lexicon talionis was enforced, i.e. | | | Not only in criminal cases, but in all cases, it was necessary to have at least two witnesses to make good an accusation against a person (Deuteronomy 17:6; 19:15; compare Numbers 35:30; Matthew 18:16; John 8:17; 2 Corinthians 13:1; 1 Timothy 5:19). |

| | Other Witness films are intended to be used as evidence in an international court, or as a deterrent to abuse. | | | Although it sprung into being in 1992, Witness has never gone out of its way to court mainstream media attention. | | | That's because Witness chooses each project with a specific audience in mind, often congressmen, government ministers, or CEOs. |

| | Chapter 11 of Was Christianity Too Improbable to be False? |
| | Since "those who are not suitable" to bear witness in court are distinguished as a separate category of those disqualified from an "oath of testimony," clearly the reason women were exempt from the law had nothing to do with being unsuitable. | | | Even the one exception proves the rule: women were not qualified to be witnesses to a will under Roman Law, but not because they weren't trusted--rather, because under the law you could not be a witness to a legal action that you were not yourself qualified to undertake. | | | Since normally two witnesses are required in a court of law--even when they are men--Johanan is asking whether a child (normally disqualified) can count as a second witness, especially in conjunction with a woman (probably a relative, and the testimony of mutual relatives is sometimes not admitted). |
