$5.00

An oath is a pledge made by a person signifying that he is responsible to a supreme swears that the information contained in the statement is true.

Description

  • The testimony a person is about to give will be the truth (deposition or court room testimony)
  • A statement made by a person is the truth (affidavit)
  • A person states that he or she will faithfully perform the duties of a public office (oath of office)
Affirmation
Notice that an oath is made to a Supreme Being. Some people object to this; instead, the law allows them to make an affirmation under the penalties of perjury. With an affirmation, the person is bound by his own conscience to tell the truth. Under the law, an affirmation is legally equivalent to an oath, but instead of saying, “I swear that the information is true,” the person would say, “I affirm that the information is true.” Both acts have the same legal effect.
