ADM File No. 2020-08: Proposed Amendment of Administrative Order No. 2020-17 and MCR 4.201
The proposed amendments would permanently incorporate certain provisions from Administrative Order No. 2020-17 into court rule format under MCR 4.201 and would make a number of minor changes due to a relettering of the rule. The proposed amendments would also incorporate public comment received at the public hearing on March 16, 2022 and via email, as well as additional recommendations and input received from other stakeholders including the JFAC and the MDJA. Finally, the proposed amendments in this order reference MCR 2.407, which is amended effective September 9, 2022. Readers should refer to the amended version of that rule when reviewing the proposed amendments in this order.
