What You Need to Know: Important Amendments to Court Rules

Attorneys from the State Court Administrator's Office, Legal Counsel Division, provided a free Continuing Legal Education (CLE) training opportunity last December and early January to discuss recent amendments to Minnesota's court rules, most of which took effect on January 1, 2021. The amended rules:
 

• Expand administrative rejection of documents when filers fail to separate public and non-public information. 
• Create a universal cover sheet for non-public documents. 
• Accelerate the administrative striking process if court administration see non-public information in a public court filing.

The presenters offered information to help attorneys understand the new rules and how to comply with them.
