A document must be authenticated before it can be admitted into evidence to ensure its reliability and integrity. Authentication establishes that the document is what it claims to be, preventing the introduction of false or misleading information. This process helps maintain the integrity of the legal system by ensuring that only credible evidence is presented in court, thereby supporting a fair trial.

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.
