Subpoenas are workhorses in civil litigation, both for discovery and obtaining evidence for use at trial. Changes to the subpoena rules are therefore important.
Proposed amendments to Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the federal subpoena rule, have been published for public comment. The public comment period runs through Feb. 15, 2012. After the comment period, the Advisory Committee on Civil Rules may decide not to proceed further, or make changes before going forward with the amendments to the rule. Put differently, this is the time when the practicing bar can make its voice felt on these potential revisions of subpoena practice. The goal of this piece is to introduce the proposals.
