Rules of Evidence Adopted by Judiciary: Exception

Rules of Evidence Adopted by Judiciary: Exception. Except as provided in this chapter, the admission and exclusion of evidence shall be in accordance with the rules of evidence adopted by the Commonwealth judiciary pursuant to 1 CMC § 3402. Source: PL 3-19, § 1; see also N.M.I. Const. art. IV, § 8. Commission Comment: The cross-reference to 1 CMC § 3402 in this section is incorrect. PL 6-25, the Commonwealth Judicial Reorganization Act of 1989 (codified at 1 CMC § 3001 et seq.) repealed and reenacted provisions concerning the judiciary in title 1, division 3, but did not include necessary conforming amendments to several provisions elsewhere in the code, including this section. The proper cross reference would now appear to be 1 CMC § 3403. Cf. 7 CMC § 3112.
