Testimonial evidence is what someone says under oath or affirmation at the hearing. Documentary evidence encompasses any document, including photographs, blueprints, checks, contracts, and the like. Four to six photos can be photocopied at one on a single sheet and a copy made for the other party. Checks and other valuable documents should be copied rather than the original offered into evidence. It is helpful if relevant sections of blueprints are photocopied where possible, rather than offering the entire blueprint.
Demonstrative evidence is physical evidence that can be seen or touched.
This includes tile, pipes and the like. Nondocumentary items may be considered by the Administrative Law Judge even if the item itself is not admitted into the record because of its size or it is otherwise inappropriate. Admissible evidence is evidence that the Administrative Law Judge admits into evidence as part of the official record. Admissible evidence does not mean that the evidence is true. It means that there are no valid objections for its consideration by the Administrative Law Judge.
