Judicial notice evidence refers to facts the court may accept without requiring proof.

• A. Judicial notice evidence
• B. Testimonial evidence
• C. Tangible evidence
• D. Hearsay

Answer: (A)

Judicial notice means the court can accept certain facts as true without requiring evidence, because they are either generally known within the jurisdiction or easily verifiable from reliable sources. This is why the description that refers to facts the court may accept without proof is the best fit. It’s different from testimonial evidence (what a witness says under oath), tangible evidence (physical objects), and hearsay (out-of-court statements offered for their truth). For example, a court may take judicial notice that New Year’s Day is a holiday or that a city has a certain landmark, without any witness proving it.
