In the course of working on Michigan's rules, I found some recent amendments to the Rules of Civil Procedure: Rule 2.511 ("Impaneling the Jury") was amended effective September 1, 2009, while amendments to 2.112 ("Pleading Special Matters") will become effective January 1, 2010.

Amendments to Rule 611 of the Michigan Rules of Evidence ("Mode and Order of Interrogation and Presentation") took effect on September 1, 2009.

These amendments are included in our Michigan Rules of Civil Procedure and Michigan Rules of Evidence which are awaiting approval by Apple. Approval usually takes about two weeks.

There are also amendments to other Michigan rules for which we have not prepared iPhone apps, such as Chapter 3 ("Special Proceedings and Actions"). See Michigan Courts.
