Federal Rules

At a September 2009, meeting the Federal Rules Committee approved and forwarded a number of changes to federal practice.  Of note to military practitioners, about 2 years from now, is Fed. R. Evid. 804 and its changes.  I say that long because Mil. R. Evid. 1102 doesn’t require adoption until 18 months after the federal rule is adopted.

Here is a link to the report.  the proposed amendment starts at page 167 in .pdf view.
