  Dear Subscriber:

  Thank you for choosing to stay current in civil litigation with this third edition of A Practical Guide to Discovery and Depositions in Rhode Island . Inside, you will find new material on topics including the following:

  • Motions practice. See chapter 1 for two recent cases that have defined ethical obligations surrounding the attorney-client privilege and compliance with Rule 26.

  • Budgetary constraints; depositions. See chapter 2 for a citation to a case that discusses the "exceptional circumstances" standard and addresses the qualified privilege afforded by Rule 26(b)(4)(B) that precludes discovery of facts known and opinions held by a nontestifying expert.

  • Conducting client interviews; remote interviews. See chapter 4 for insights on the impact of COVID-19 on the interjurisdictional practice of law, and the use of videoconferencing and the displaying of documents remotely in preparation for arbitration. See also chapter 15 for more discussion of videoconferenced depositions and, in particular, the differences between recorded remote depositions and professionally videorecorded depositions.

  • Rule 30(b)(6). See chapter 17 for discussion of the 2020 amendment to Fed. R. Civ. P. 30(b)(6) that imposed a new "meet and confer" requirement, and the practical effect of the new requirements it imposes.

  • Rule 36. See chapter 20 for discussion of the differences between federal and Rhode Island courts with regard to the use of admissions.

  We at MCLE trust that you will find this new edition useful in your litigation and valuable in keeping your law library current.

  Cordially,

  Maryanne G. Jensen, Esq., Director of Publications
