N.D. Ill. LPR 1.6
Admissibility of Disclosures
The disclosures provided for in LPR 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, and 2.5 are inadmissible as evidence on the merits.
Comment
The purpose of the initial disclosures pursuant to LPR 2.2 – 2.5 is to identify the likely issues in the case, to enable the parties to focus and narrow their discovery requests. Permitting use of the initial disclosures as evidence on the merits would 4 defeat this purpose. A party may make reference to the initial disclosures for any other appropriate purpose.
