URE Rule 1007 (Rules of Evidence)
Rule 1007. Testimony or Statement of a Party to Prove Content.
The proponent may prove the content of a writing, recording, or photograph by the testimony, deposition, or written statement of the party against whom the evidence is offered. The proponent need not account for the original.
2011 Advisory Committee Note. The language of this rule has been amended as part of the restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make class and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility. This rule is the federal rule, verbatim.
Original Advisory Committee Note. This rule is the federal rule, verbatim. There was no comparable rule in the Utah Rules of Evidence (1971), but the rule appears to be in accord with Utah practice.
