The Mississippi Supreme Court is seeking public comment on proposed
rule amendments that address discovery deadlines and expert witnesses
in trial courts. The motion calls for extending the time for discovery from 90 to 180 days
and allowing either party or the court no later than 30 days before
trial to request a determination of the admissibility of an expert
witness' testimony with a definitive ruling at least 10 days prior to
trial.
The Mississippi Supreme Court Advisory Committee on Rules requested the changes. A copy of the petition and proposed rules are available online at http://tinyurl.com/rulesforcomment. Comments must be filed by Friday with the clerk of the Supreme Court, Gartin Justice Building, Box 249, Jackson MS 39205.
