Superior Court Amendments to Rules of Civil Procedure Approved

June 25, 2021

On June 23 the D.C. Court of Appeals approved proposed amendments to Superior Court Rules of Civil Procedure 10-I and 30. The revised Rule 10-I permits the use of a substitute address in court filings consistent with the District of Columbia’s Address Confidentiality Program and requiring that self-represented parties provide their email address.


Changes to Rule 30 incorporate 2020 amendments to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30, providing that upon service of a notice or subpoena directed at an organization, the serving party and organization must confer in good faith about the matters for examination.
