Rule 502 of the Federal Rules of Evidence

On April 12-13, 2007, the Advisory Committee on Evidence Rules held open public meetings to discuss the extent to which written comments and testimony concerning proposed Rule 502 of the Federal Rules of Evidence will change the final text of the rule and related notes before submission to the Judicial Conference.  The framework of that discussion is based on a memo from the Reporter, Professor Daniel Capra, dated March 15, 2007.
