SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Legal professionals must assess whether evidence can be admitted in court and how much weight it carries, a task that varies sharply across civil, criminal, and administrative litigation in China. This Skill provides a structured framework for reviewing each piece of evidence against the "three properties" (authenticity, legality, relevance) and probative value, then synthesizing a whole-case conclusion against the applicable burden of proof. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Three-Property Review: Systematic checklists for authenticity, legality (including illegal evidence exclusion), and relevance for every evidence item. - Type-Specific Probative Value Rules: Dedicated evaluation tables for documentary evidence, witness testimony, electronic data, expert opinions, and party statements. - Evidence Chain Analysis: Maps corroboration and contradiction relationships, checks chain completeness, and measures findings against standards like beyond reasonable doubt or high probability. - Use Case: In a private lending dispute, evaluate an original IOU, bank transfer records, unnotarized WeChat screenshots, and a non-appearing witness statement to determine which facts are proven and what evidence needs reinforcement. ## Quick Start Evaluate the admissibility and probative value of the evidence list in my civil loan dispute case and produce a full-case evidence assessment report with reinforcement suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions about evidence-evaluation

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I evaluate whether evidence is admissible in a Chinese court?▼

Admissibility review checks three properties: authenticity, legality, and relevance. The Skill applies a four-gate screening process covering form, legality (including illegal evidence exclusion), relevance, and authenticity before assessing probative value.

How to assess the probative value of electronic data like WeChat records?▼

Electronic data assessment examines generation, storage, transmission, and extraction integrity. Notarized preservation, blockchain timestamps, and complete conversation context raise probative value, while unverified screenshots are rated low and cannot alone support a finding.

What proof standards apply in civil versus criminal cases in China?▼

Criminal conviction requires proof beyond reasonable doubt, while civil cases generally use the high probability standard. Certain civil facts like fraud or oral wills require a heightened standard, and administrative cases require clear advantage from the defendant agency.

When must illegally obtained evidence be excluded in criminal cases?▼

Confessions obtained through torture or coercive methods like fatigue interrogation are absolutely excluded, as are witness statements gathered through violence or threats. Physical or documentary evidence collected illegally is excluded only if it seriously affects judicial fairness and cannot be corrected or reasonably explained.

What are the limitations of AI-based evidence evaluation?▼

AI cannot physically inspect original evidence or observe courtroom cross-examination, so its assessment is preliminary analysis only. Final admissibility decisions rest with the court, and results should be reviewed by a licensed legal professional.
