In re Comm. on Civ. Practice

Summary

The Arkansas Supreme Court published proposed amendments to civil-procedure rules and administrative provisions for public comment. The proposals substantially revise service-of-process procedures, clarify pleading contact-information requirements, and add file-mark formatting requirements. The proposed service amendments include expanded service methods, longer warning-order periods, a substantial-compliance rule for nondefault cases involving actual notice, and written requirements for waiver of service defects.
