In law, the parol evidence rule prohibits verbal evidence from being introduced to a jury or a judge to change the terms of a written contract. The rule allows verbal evidence only if a term of the written contract is ambiguous in which case the verbal evidence can be admitted into evidence for the purpose of resolving the ambiguity.
