## Definition

A Party Admission is a statement made by a party to a legal proceeding that is offered as evidence against that party. Party admissions are considered non-hearsay and are admissible as an exception to the hearsay rule due to the inherent reliability and fairness of allowing a party's own statements to be used against them.
