“Happily, cpeterson was able to attend this morning’s
session.

“Update: It looks like that will be all the news for today. They
are keeping the public in the hall mainly, to fit all the
prospective jurors in, so unless there is something unexpected,
tune in tomorrow.

“Also, I see questions about what’s hearsay within hearsay and
things like that, so here are all the Federal Rules of Civil
Procedure — meaning the rules you follow for civil trials in
federal district courts, and you’ll find every other kind of
applicable rule linked on the Utah District Court’s Rules page.
There are local rules as well, and then judges have their
preferences, if you recall the judge’s marching orders the other
day. If you dig and learn something interesting, please share it in
your comments. Thanks.
