Terms Used In New Jersey Statutes 2A:17-2

  • Evidence: Information presented in testimony or in documents that is used to persuade the fact finder (judge or jury) to decide the case for one side or the other.
  • Writ: A formal written command, issued from the court, requiring the performance of a specific act.
Every writ of execution which shall be sued forth against real estate shall, before its delivery to the sheriff or other officer, be recorded in a book to be kept for that purpose by the clerk of the court out of which the same was issued. Such record so made shall be as good evidence as the writ itself.
