For the UK company law concept, see Unfair prejudice in United Kingdom company law.

Unfair prejudice in United States evidence law may be grounds for excluding relevant evidence.[1] "Unfair prejudice" as used in Rule 403 is not to be equated with testimony that is simply adverse to the opposing party.[2] Virtually all evidence is prejudicial or it is not material. The prejudice must be "unfair".[3]
