Rules of Evidence – Effective November 1, 2023
URE0101. Scope; Definitions. Amend. The amendments add certain definitions in subparagraph (b) to clarify the applicability of the Utah Rules of Evidence to juvenile court proceedings, and add subparagraph (c) to specify that in the event of conflict between these definitions and the Utah Rules of Juvenile Procedure, the latter rules govern.
URE0412. Admissibility of Victim’s Sexual Behavior of Predisposition. Amend. Subparagraph (a) is amended to omit the specific reference to “juvenile delinquency” proceedings. In view of the proposed amendments to URE 101 and 1101, the reference is unnecessary. The reference could also be confusing since other rules that likewise apply to juvenile delinquency proceedings do not include such specific references.
URE0615. Excluding Witnesses. Amend. Subparagraphs (d) and (e) are amended to omit the specific references to “juvenile delinquency” proceedings. In view of the proposed amendments to URE 101 and 1101, the references are unnecessary. The references could also be confusing since other rules that likewise apply to juvenile delinquency proceedings do not include such specific references.
URE1101. Applicability of Rules. Amend. Subparagraph (a) is amended to add a provision clarifying that the Utah Rules of Evidence apply to “all juvenile court proceedings unless stated otherwise in the Utah Rules of Juvenile Procedure.”
