2009/2010 ANNUAL REPORT: |
This Committee, the liaison between the MSBA membership
and the Court’s Standing Committee on the Rules of Practice
and Procedure, monitors meetings of the Rules Committee
and requests input from Sections and Committees so MSBA
members are heard at the Rules Committee meetings on any
proposed Rules changes. It monitored the Rules affecting
foreclosure, discussed by the Rules Committee, and plans
to address the issue of multi-jurisdictional practice with the
Rules Committee, which has been adopted in other states. The
Committee also participates in the Attorney Subcommittee of
the Standing Committee on Rules as it affects fee shifting and
believes the Subcommittee might issue its recommendation to
the full Rules Committee prior to MSBA’s Annual Meeting. |
