Evidence Center — the five-gates education layer
Evidence in family cases commonly passes five separate gates — relevance, authentication, hearsay, best evidence, and privilege — and passing one gate never settles another. The Evidence Center shows each gate in the statute's own words.
In the product: Education pages quote verbatim corpus text only (needle-gated); no fact-matched analysis on public surfaces; recording surfaces carry the § 934.03 consent warning; conclusions route to counsel.

The left column is World 1: exact statutory text, locked — no summaries, no "this means". Extractions here are exact sentences sliced with their subsection paths, never rewritten. Anything urgent: request attorney review.
