REPORTER’S NOTE
In response to a suggestion from Michael C. Worsham, Esq.,
the Rules Committee recommends the addition of language to the
Committee note after subsection (d)(2) to encourage parties
exchanging discovery material to provide the material in a word
processing file or other electronic format, upon request. Mr.
Worsham pointed out that providing an electronic copy of a
document would save typing and document scanning, which is
especially helpful in a small law office or the office of a solo
practitioner.
The Committee also suggests that this recommendation be
incorporated into the Discovery Guidelines of the Maryland State
Bar Association.
