In Re Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Civil Practice – Recommendations to Amend Rules 3(f); 4(a); and 6(b) of…

Summary

The court published proposed amendments to appellate rules governing service of notices of appeal, the filing deadline for cross-appeals, and the time for designating additional record materials. The proposals would eliminate the signed-receipt mailing requirement for service on represented parties and trigger related deadlines upon filing rather than receipt of the notice of appeal. The court invited written comments through April 1, 2026 and expressly reserved consideration of whether to adopt the amendments.
