Clarity through authority.

An affidavit is a written declaration of facts voluntarily made under oath or affirmation and used as evidence in court proceedings. It is typically signed before a notary or other authorized officer to affirm its authenticity and veracity.

Adjudication is the formal legal process through which a judge or designated authority evaluates evidence, applies the relevant laws, and delivers a binding resolution to a legal dispute. This procedure often culminates in a judgment or ruling that clarifies legal responsibilities and rights between parties.
