On Friday evening, September 19, 2008, the President signed S. 2450, enacting new Federal Rule of Evidence 502 (Pub. L. No. 110-322, 122 Stat. 3537). The new rule limits waivers of attorney-client privilege and work-product protection to facilitate discovery and reduce its cost. The law takes effect immediately. For more information, click here.

The Judicial Conference Advisory Committees on the Appellate, Bankruptcy, Civil, Criminal, and Evidence Rules have proposed amendments to their respective rules and requested that the proposals be circulated to the bench, bar, and public for comment. The public comment period ends on February 17, 2009. The proposed amendments, rules committee reports explaining the proposed changes, and other information are posted on the Judiciary’s Federal Rulemaking web site at http://www.uscourts.gov/rules.
