Rules of Evidence
Utah Rules of Evidence Style Revision Project. Consistent with the restyling of the Federal Rules of Evidence, the language of these rules has been amended as part of the restyling of the Evidence Rules to make them more easily understood and to make style and terminology consistent throughout the rules. These changes are intended to be stylistic only. There is no intent to change any result in any ruling on evidence admissibility.
Comments are due November 16, 2011. The supreme court has approved an abbreviated comment period so that if the amendments ultimately are approved, they can be effective December 1, the same day as their federal counterparts.
