CAMPBELL CIVIL RULES REENA RAGGI CRIMINAL RULES SIDNEY A. FITZWATER EVIDENCE RULES MEMORANDUM TO: Hon. Jeffrey S. Sutton, Chair Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure FROM: Hon. David G. Campbell Advisory Committee on Civil Rules RE: Report of Advisory Committee on Civil Rules DATE: May 2, 2014 Introduction The Civil Rules Advisory Committee met at the Lewis & Clark Law School in Portland, Oregon, on April 10-11, 2014. Draft Minutes of this meeting are attached. This report has been prepared by Professor Cooper, Committee Reporter, with Professor Marcus, Associate Reporter, and various subcommittee chairs. Part I of this Report presents recommendations to approve for adoption several proposals that were published for comment in August, 2013. Part IA of this Report presents for action a proposal recommending adoption of revisions to Rules 1, 4, 16, 26, 30, 31, 33, 34, and 37. For the most part, these recommendations are little changed from the proposals that were published for comment last summer. The most obvious changes are encompassed by a recommendation to withdraw amendments that would tighten presumptive numerical limits on some forms of discovery. The remaining amendments form a package developed in response to the central themes that emerged from the conference held at the Duke Law School in May, 2010. Participants urged the need for increased cooperation; proportionality in using procedural tools, most particularly discovery; and early, active judicial case management.
