The power of adducing proof is not to be narrowed.

Explanation

Courts must not restrict a party's opportunity to present evidence; the right to prove one's case is fundamental to due process of law.

Where this applies

• The judge won't let me present evidence that supports my case.
• The court is blocking my witnesses from testifying.
• I have proof that would change the outcome but the rules keep me from showing it.
