- 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.
- Minor: means a person who has not attained the age of 18 years, except that for purposes of investigating or prosecuting a person who is alleged to have violated a state or federal criminal law or any civil law or municipal ordinance, "minor" does not include a person who has attained the age of 17 years. See Wisconsin Statutes 990.01
Whenever in any proceeding in any court under any of the labor laws or under ch. 102 there is any doubt of the age of a minor or as to whether an individual is a minor, a permit authorizing the employment of the minor issued under s. 103.70 or an age certificate issued under s. 103.75 shall be conclusive evidence. In the absence of such permit or certificate, a birth certificate, a verified baptismal certificate, a valid operator’s license issued under ch. 343 that contains the photograph of the license holder, or an identification card issued under s. 343.50 shall be produced and filed with the court. Upon proof that the birth certificate, baptismal certificate, operator’s license or identification card cannot be secured, the record of age stated in the first school enrollment of the child shall be admissible as evidence of age.
