Rule 602. Need for Personal Knowledge
A witness may testify to a matter only if evidence is introduced sufficient to support a finding that
the witness has personal knowledge of the matter. Evidence to prove personal knowledge may
consist of the witness’s own testimony. This rule does not apply to a witness’s expert testimony
under Rule 703.
