This weblog has been created to provide information on proposed and adopted amendments to the Michigan Court Rules of 1985, the Michigan Rules of Evidence, and other court-enacted rules. But we do not try to cover all updates. The entries here are limited to those items that would be of interest to civil trial lawyers.
This page is where the Michigan Supreme Court posts these items.
For the last several years, we have been keeping track of these developments, and the updates have been published in the Michigan Defense Quarterly, a publication of the Michigan Defense Trial Counsel. We have now set up this site to provide this information more promptly than print publication would allow, and to provide some added flexibility to the process.
One improvement: We are adding occasional items on new updates to the Model Civil Jury Instructions.
