Judicial Notice sources include which of the following?

• A. The common law, constitutions, and public statutes of the US and every state
• B. Official compilation of the NYCRR
• C. All local laws and county acts
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

Judicial notice allows a court to accept certain facts as true without formal evidence when they come from reliable, indisputable sources. In New York practice, this includes not only the broad legal framework of common law, the constitutions, and public statutes of the United States and every state, but also official publications such as the NYCRR and official acts like local laws and county acts. Because each of these sources is an official, reliable reference a court can consult, all of the above are valid sources for judicial notice. That’s why the best choice is all of the above.
