NJ RULES OF EVIDENCE NJRE RULE 608. EVIDENCE OF CHARACTER FOR TRUTHFULNESS OR UNTRUTHFULNESS
The credibility of a witness may be attacked or supported by evidence in the form of opinion or reputation, provided, however, that the evidence relates only to the witness' character for truthfulness or untruthfulness, and provided further that evidence of truthful character is admissible only after the character of the witness for truthfulness has been attacked by opinion or reputation evidence or otherwise. Except as otherwise provided by Rule 609, a trait of character cannot be proved by specific instances of conduct.
