Illinois Child Welfare Employee License (CWEL) Practice Test

Stipulations are agreements by the parties that certain facts are true. In legal proceedings, stipulations are made by both parties to agree on certain facts, which helps to streamline the process by avoiding the need to prove these facts in court. Stipulations often save time and resources by allowing the parties to focus on the disputed issues rather than on facts that are already agreed upon.

In contrast:

- Statements of Fact (A) are simply assertions or declarations about a certain situation or event and are not necessarily agreed upon by all parties involved.

- Contractual Obligations (B) refer to the duties and responsibilities that parties agree to fulfill within a contract but do not specifically address the truth of certain facts.

- Arrangement Affidavits (C) are not a commonly recognized legal term and do not specifically relate to agreements about certain facts being true.
