Lay Opinion
Authored by: PJ on Wednesday, April 25 2012 @ 05:12 PM EDT
It's about the rules. This time, the guy
had the ability to provide foundation, in
that he read it at the time or knew about
it at the time or whatever. There has to be
some connection so that he contributes his
own personal testimony. It can't be done if
he never heard about it at the time, never
read it, doesn't recognize the document, etc.,
had no job description that would make it
relevant, meaning knowing what their standard
practice was for such things, that kind of
thing.

"Lay" means that, as a non-lawyer, he can say what *his* opinion was
about whether it was legal or not, but it's not a legal opinion.
