Published 5 years, 4 months ago
Description
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30(b)(6) - the subsection that allows you to compel an organization to produce a representative who can testify knowledgeably about topics you selected - has just been amended. Effective today, December 1, 2020, litigators are now required to confer about the matters for examination, and must do so either (a) before the deposition is noticed (or subpoena served), or (b) promptly after issuance of the notice or subpoena. Jim Garrity explains the change to the rule, and offers several excellent tips for conducting the conferral.
