The local rules for the U.S.  District Court for the Southern District of Florida were amended, effective Dec. 1. Lawyers who practice here should be aware of these amendments. They are summarized below.

Deadlines for Raising Discovery Disputes—Revisions to S.D. Fla. L.R. 26.1(g) and S.D. Fla. L.R.  26.1(e)(7)

While that is a simple concept, it has been hard to stick to the landing. The rule was amended to provide a series of clarifications to S.D. Fla. L.R. 26.1(g) regarding deadlines and procedures for parties to bring discovery disputes to the court’s attention.
