Reputation - sustany/dvg GitHub Wiki

Reputation is the general esteem held of a person�s character and comportment. Regarding trial proceedings, under Federal Rule of Evidence Rule 405, when evidence on a person�s character is admissible, it may be proved through testimony on that person�s reputation. In defamation suits, harm to the plaintiff�s reputation may be factored into the court�s damage award as well. For example, in January 2020, the voting system company Dominion sued an attorney of President Trump for defamation, claiming that their claims about Dominion�s complicity in alleged election fraud were outlandish and caused the company reputation injury.�
