Yes, there are rules regarding how evidence must be brought to the court and admitted as evidence. So if you don't follow the rules the judge doesn't have to allow it.


You have asked a complicated question and not provided any details.



Briefly, the rules of evidence apply to criminal and civil proceedings and the judge is the person who governs the trial. In some cases a litigant may want to present some "proof" of something to the court and it doesn't rise to the level of evidence. To be admissible, evidence must be both relevant and material. There must be a relationship between the evidence and the issues in the case. If the "evidence" presented is not relevant the judge may decide to exclude it. A judge has final say on what is or is not admissible in their court. You need to ask your attorney to explain why the evidence was rejected. The judge should have provided a ruling on its merits.


If you still want to pursue the matter you can file for an appeal and have the appeals court see if the judge's refusal of the evidence was justified. If you think the judge has a conflict of interest resulting from any personal interest in the case then you need to approach the higher court to request a transfer to another judge.

Is it legal for a judge to refuse evidence in traffic court?

A judge has final say on what is or is not admissable in their court. The only recourse if the evidence was refused is to file for an appeal and have the appeals court see if his/her refusal of the evidence was justified. If they find in favor of the judge, you're out of luck. If on the other hand the appeals court decides the evidence should be admissable, the case will most likely be retried with the new evidence presented.

What can you do if divorce judgment indemnifies you from mortgage and credit card debt but companies refuse to recognize Superior court order?

A shaky issue. Likely as not, you are on the contract for these debts with your exspouse. The court that granted your divorce separated you from the debt, and only the courts can legally break a contract when both parties do not agree to it. You have the recourse to appear in court if the creditors attempt to sue you and produce the order from the divorce court indemnifying you. Likely as not the presiding judge will honor the order from the divorce judge, and the creditors will have no option at that point but to pursue your exspouse. Be prepared to cooperate with the court if the judge requests any location or asset information on your exspouse from you. This can only help your case.

If you go in person, you can request to see the file and review the contents.
