Plan to Revise Rules for Iowa Supreme Court Procedure
The Iowa Supreme Court is leading an ambitious statewide rules revision under legislative mandate. Three subcommittees cover Commencement of Actions, Pre-trial Conferences, and Appellate Procedure with judges and bar members named from Davenport, Des Moines, Fort Dodge, Britt, and Sioux City. The Advisory Committee on Rules of Procedure lists many attorneys and officials, including Wayne G. Cook and H. H. Stipp, with DeWitt acting as secretary. The act, sponsored by multiple senators, authorizes a unified system of civil rules and forms for Iowa courts.
