Pending Civil Litigation Rule Proposals - The Defense Weighs In
Amendments to Rule 702 clarifying the standards for the admission of expert evidence are set to become law on December 1. State courts are already considering equivalent state rules. And as changes on the admission of expert evidence come into effect, new proposed rules guiding multidistrict litigation and improving privilege log practices are in the public comment process, and proposed rules changes on protecting privacy and improving cyber security have just been proposed.
What can you do to ensure appropriate application of Rule 702 and what do you need to understand about new rule proposals in the pipeline? Join us for a fast-paced discussion of pending and proposed rules changes that may impact your practice now and in the years ahead.
