The Expert Witness' Use of Non-Substantive Evidence on Direct Examination
Under Wilson v. Clark, in Illinois an expert witness may testify to an opinion based on facts which are contained in materials not admitted into evidence. Mr. Lloyd's paper discusses an expert's use of non-substantive evidence during direct examination, e.g. medical records, deposition transcripts, policies and procedures, accident reports, industry standards. The paper illustrates the extent to which an expert may reveal the contents of the hearsay materials upon which he reasonably relied as set forth in the Illinois Supreme cases of Ward and Anderson. Lastly, Mr. Lloyd argues that authoritative texts, articles and treatises may be used as the basis for an expert opinion under Anderson, including reading the contents of the published literature to the jury
