When in court do you need a sworn statement?
No you don't.In many courts, the UK included, it is normal to swear an oath on the bible or otherwise swear a declaration.For religious reasons, an atheist can make a promise and does not need to use a bible at all.Also, for religious reasons, some Christians refuse to swear an oath because the bible instructs not to swear and they are able to make a promise before God.For others with religious beliefs that are non Christian, courts have forms of promise that are acceptable to them.All countries and all courts have their own rules and guidelines.
When you ut right hand on bible in court what is the part you say?
It depends which country you're in - In america, the clerk quotes the phrase "Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so help you God" - to which the person in the witness box responds "I do." In the UK, the person in the witness box is asked their religion, and given an appropriate card to read. For example - if the witness is a Christian - they read out loud from a card "I swear by almighty God that the evidence I shall give will be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."
