Supreme Court of Arkansas

In re Comm. Civ. Practice

May 12, 20162016 Ark. 208

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas published proposed amendments and new rules governing civil practice, appellate procedure, amicus briefs, interstate discovery, and substitution of parties for public comment. The court did not finally adopt the proposals in this opinion; it invited written comments by a specified deadline. The proposed interstate-discovery rule would create a clerk-based process for issuing and enforcing Arkansas subpoenas connected to civil actions pending elsewhere.
