EXTRAJUDICIAL

That which is done, given, or effected outside the
course of regular judicial proceedings. Not founded
upon, or unconnected with, the action of a court of
law, as in extrajudicial evidence or an extrajudi-
cial oath.
That which, though done in the course of reg-
ular judicial proceedings, is unnecessary to such
proceedings, or interpolated, or beyond their scope,
as in an extrajudicial opinion.
An extrajudicial statement is an out-of-court
utterance, either written or oral. When offered
into court as evidence, it is subject to the
HEARSAY rule and its exceptions.
An extrajudicial oath is one that is not taken
during judicial proceedings but taken formally
