In Re Response to the Covid-19 Pandemic

Summary

The Supreme Court of Arkansas ordered that courts statewide resume hearings beginning May 18, 2020, subject to health precautions and allowing presiding judges to select video, audio, or in-person formats. It continued suspending the time requirements under Arkansas Rule of Civil Procedure 4(i) and District Court Rule 3, rescinded the suspension of several discovery-related deadlines, and required discovery suspended during the prior order's effective period to be completed within ten business days or by its original due date, whichever was later.
