:''For the agreement between prosecutor and defendant, see proffer letter.'' A proffer is an offer made prior to any formal negotiations. In a trial, to proffer (sometimes profer) is to offer evidence in support of an argument, or elements of an affirmative defense or offense. A party with the burden of proof must proffer sufficient evidence to carry that burden. For example, in support of a particular argument, a party may proffer documentary evidence or witnesses. Where a party is denied the right to introduce evidence because that evidence would be inflammatory, hearsay, or would lack sufficient authentication, that party must make a proffer of what the evidence would have shown in order to preserve the issue for appeal. As in business, a proffer can be a sign of "good faith" a first offer or proposal, to show a willingness to "barter". *see good faith bargaining, barter. ==Etymology== The word proffer is derived from Anglo-French "por-", forth, and offrir, to offer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Definition of proffer from the Merriam-Webster dictionary )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「proffer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
