Request for Judicial Notice

A request for judicial notice is a legal document filed by a party in a lawsuit, asking the court to accept a fact as true without requiring further proof. The fact must be one that is not subject to reasonable dispute, such as information from public records or widely accepted sources. Judicial notice can be used to establish the existence of laws, regulations, or other official documents relevant to the case. If the court grants the request, the fact is considered conclusively established for the purposes of the lawsuit. Judicial notice can help streamline the litigation process by avoiding the need to prove certain undisputed facts.
