Talk:Party admission

Exemption, exclusion, exception
Dear fellow editors: I made some minor edits to the article. The article as previously written was not necessarily incorrect, as I have seen at least one legal scholar use the term "exception" in referring to the Rule 801(d) categories of "statements which are not hearsay." Indeed, the article as written was careful to make the distinction. I just think it's less confusing to use the terms "exemption" or "exclusion" to refer to the 801(d) items, and to use "exception" to refer to all the categories of statements which are hearsay but which may nevertheless be admissible. Hair-splitting! Yours, Famspear 16:42, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

There were some terrible inaccuracies in this article when I found it. It confuses party admissions with declarations against interest, misstates the purpose of the exemption, omits the limits of the exemption, and it doesn't cover the full reach thereof. I've addressed these problems. User:Non_Curat_lex 24 November 2006

UK law has hearsay rules that are dramatically different in the civil and criminal contexts. It would be great to have a section on those rules as applied to party admissions. And if other countries, especially civil-law countries, treat these admissions differently, the article would be vastly improved by discussing their approaches.
