    Honestly not sure when. It’s kinda an infamous one, it essentially says you can never introduce hearsay as evidence in a federal court because hearsay is unreliable… unless you fall into one of the 23 exceptions. Or you meet one of the two exceptions in FRE 807.

    Tbf a lot make good sense and are just about government written records and making sure you don’t need to find some government official who retired 10 years ago.
