Amended effective 1/1/2023; amended effective 1/1/2023.Advisory Committee Comments - 2022 Amendments
Rule 114.06 is substantially similar to former Rule 114.07. The committee has clarified that the requirements for attendance at ADR sessions apply to "sessions" and not "processes." The committee believes this nomenclature to be more precise in identifying the events where attendance is required.
