Rules of Evidence. The Federal Rules of Evidence shall apply to any and all matters submitted to final and binding arbitration under this Agreement.
Rules of Evidence. Court rules provide that exhibits cannot be offered into evidence in legal proceedings unless a chain-of-custody can be shown. This is especially true for items subject to adulteration. To ensure admissibility of evidence, only law enforcement officers should seize or possess any items that are or may become, evidence. Only under exigent circumstances may National Guard personnel handle potential evidence.
Rules of Evidence. The Arbitrator will apply the Federal Rules of Evidence, but construe them liberally to allow for the admission of evidence that is helpful in resolving the matter(s) in dispute. Rulings on the admission of evidence made by the Arbitrator at the hearing will be final, binding, and not subject to any appeal.
Rules of Evidence. The arbitrators shall render a written statement to the Parties setting forth the basis of his/her determination.

In applying these rules to a vacation hearing, the term ‘‘military judge,’’ as used in these rules, shall mean the hearing officer, who shall assume the military judge’s authority to exclude evidence from the hearing, and who shall, in discharging this duty, follow the procedures set forth in these rules. However, the hearing officer is not authorized to order production of communications covered by Xxx. R. Evid. 513 or 514.
Rules of Evidence. The rules of evi- dence prevailing in courts of law and equity are not controlling in hearings. However, the Administrative Law Judge shall exclude evidence which is irrelevant, immaterial, or unduly rep- etitious.
Rules of Evidence. In the hearing, neither party shall be permitted to introduce any evidence which was not presented in steps one through three. In the event new evidence is discovered which might have bearingon the grievance, the grievance will return to step two.
