Federal Rules of Evidence (US) Rule 1002 addresses which of the following topics?
Rule 1002 of the Federal Rules of Evidence, commonly known as part of the 'Best Evidence Rule,' is officially titled 'Requirement of the Original.' It states that an original writing, recording, or photograph is required in order to prove its content, unless the Federal Rules of Evidence or a federal statute provides otherwise. This is distinct from Rule 1003 (Admissibility of Duplicates) and Rule 1004 (Admissibility of Other Evidence of Content), which address exceptions to the original-document requirement.
