Can results from polygraph test be used as evidence in civil case?

I have heard that polygraph results can not be submitted as evidence in criminal cases, does the same apply to civil cases? My friend is involved in a civil lawsuit (in California) where there is very little physical evidence to prove her case but she wants to submit to a polygraph test to demonstrate her credibility. Will the court allow this or is the polygraph option null and void?Can results from polygraph test be used as evidence in civil case?
Well it's obvious Mr Goodhi don't know what he's talking about. Just the mere mention of one in a court of law is grounds for a new trial . They are inadmissiable . which means , NOT ALLOWED .Can results from polygraph test be used as evidence in civil case?
NO.....no and no, they are inadmisable in court, if they were a sure thing, then why the hell are millions on dollars spent on the judicial system?????


Best thing for her is to get all the witnesses to be present, or submit a notarized statement. Also be sure to have copies of all or any police reports (watch a couple of hours of court shows -People's court, Judge Mathis, etc)
polygraphs are inadmissable in court
The court might allow it into evidence.
