We're submitting an app to Apple for the Alabama Rules of Civil Procedure. Changes in those rules will take place effective February 1, 2010. Our app does not include those changes because the app would be inaccurate if downloaded before February 1. If you want to wait, we'll have a 2010 version coming out in January.

The rules to be amended are Rules 16, 26, 33(c), 34 and 45. The new rule is Rule 37(g). You can read about them at Alabama Judicial System Online.

The Alabama Rules of Evidence have remained unchanged since January 1, 1996. However, the Birmingham Bar Association announced that the Alabama Supreme Court has rectivated the Advisory Committee on the Alabama Rules of Evidence to review the rules. So changes are in the offing at some point.
