What characteristics of documents are favored under the Best Evidence rule?

The best evidence of a written document is the original written document itself. A document is "original" even if it is a duplicate, as long as it was treated as an original at the time of execution. In states that do not follow the Federal Rules of Evidence, a special showing may be required to prove the unavailability of an original before a non-original duplicate is admitted. Under the Federal Rues, any duplicate is admissible without a showing that the original is available, unless there are problems with authenticity.
