REPORTER'S NOTE
At the request of Chief Judge Bell, the Rules Committee
considered the matter of control of jurors' notes, in light of

(1997).
Proposed amendments to Rules 2-521, 4-326, and 5-606

Forty-First Report of the Rules Committee were remanded to the
Committee, pending completion of the Report of the Council on

Council’s Report and has incorporated into the Rules the
Council’s additional suggestions as to jurors’ notes.
