The primary framework is established in the <strong>Civil Procedure Code of 2015</strong> (CPC/2015, Law 13.105/2015), which modernized evidence rules by introducing dynamic burden of proof, enhanced judicial management of evidence, and detailed provisions on expert and documentary evidence. The <strong>Criminal Procedure Code</strong> (CPP) governs evidence in criminal proceedings, with distinct rules reflecting the higher standard of proof and the presumption of innocence.</p>
