This process is called "discovery" in legal terms. It involves requesting, gathering, and reviewing evidence such as written testimony documents to build a case for trial.
The two common types of evidence in a civil suit are testimonial evidence, which includes witness testimony, and documentary evidence, which consists of written records, photographs, emails, contracts, or any other physical evidence that can be presented in court.
The type of evidence you are referring to is typically called a "documentary evidence." These documents can include contracts, emails, letters, reports, and other written records that are relevant to the legal case being heard in court. They are used to support the arguments and claims made by the parties involved in the legal proceedings.
No, an affidavit is not a pleading. A pleading is a formal written statement filed with a court by parties in a case, outlining their claims or defenses. An affidavit, on the other hand, is a written statement made under oath, typically used as evidence in court proceedings.
Generally, written testimony is unavailing if the other side does not have a chance to cross-examine the witness. It doesn't hurt to try, though, if that's the best you can do. A notarized statement might be very helpful to establish damages if the other side defaults (does not show up) and you can be awarded whatever damages you can prove.
The parol evidence rule has nothing to do with the parole system. The parol evidence rule has to do with contract law. It prevents a person who is a party to a written contract from arguing that external evidence contradicts the words of the contract.
The process of collecting written testimony documents and evidence used in a trial is known as "discovery." During discovery, parties exchange relevant information, including witness statements, documents, and other evidence, to prepare for trial. This phase is crucial for ensuring that both sides have access to the same information and can build their cases effectively.

You would need to provide evidence that the court can review that highlights and counters the alleged bias. You need to show the reasons why the court should conclude that the lawyer is biased. For example, the evidence might be in written form such as official documents, testimony of witnesses or evaluations and affidavits made by professionals.
You must be much more specific in your question. There are entire textbooks written on this subject.
Oral or verbal evidence given under oath ( sworn on a Bible ).
"Contaminate" is not an adjective that applies to verbally given testimony or written statements. It is applied to physical evidence of the type usually found at a crime scene or seized later in support of the investigation.

The parole evidence rule applies when there is a (signed) written document that would be contradicted by oral testimony. In other words, "if it ain't on the papers, it ain't part of the deal."
Yes. Written documents do not take the place of 'live' testimony and do not fit the Constitutional requirement that the accused be faced with his accusers.
