The committee met throughout 2015 to consider and revise the proposed amendments and now solicits comments on its recommendations for amendments.

The committee will make its recommendation with respect to Rule 3:10 to the justices of the Supreme Judicial Court following receipt and review of public comments. Comments should be directed to Maureen McGee, Supreme Judicial Court, John Adams Courthouse, One Pemberton Square, Boston, MA  02108 on or before April 30.
