General Rules of Practice for the District Courts

Rule: 110

Jurisdiction: MN

Bluebook Citation: Minn. Gen. R. Prac. 110

committee to facilitate access to and use of the courts by pro se litigants. It is modeled after similar family law provisions in other jurisdictions. See e.g., CA. FAM. CODE sections 10000-100015 (West 2003); FLA. FAM. L. R. P. 12.750 (West 2003); OR. REV. STAT. section 3.428 (2003); WASH. REV. CODE section 26.12.240 (2003); WASH. R. GEN. GR 27 (West 2003). The rule defines and communicates to interested parties the role of Self-Help Personnel. Definition of roles is important because of the potential for confusion. Rule 110.03(b) intentionally limits the definition of Self-Help Personnel to exclude lawyers who provide services to one party, as is commonly done by legal service program attorneys. Because of this definition, Rule 110.07 does not limit the creation of an attorney-client relationship in such attorney-client relationships. Rules 110.07 and 110.08 recognize that Self-Help Personnel who are otherwise engaged in or authorized to engage in the practice of law may have obligations to clients outside the Self-Help Program that can affect their relationships to Self-Represented Litigants within the Self-Help Program. Advisory Committee Comment - 2015 Amendments The amendments to Rule 110.09 add a protection of e-mail addresses received by the Self-Help Program. This rule does not require that information to be provided, but makes it clear that if it is provided, it is not available to either opposing party or to the public. The rule makes it clear that this provision relates only to the Self-Help Program, and does not create a broader confidentiality right for this information. This information may be required to be provided by other court rules, and may be held to be public under those rules. PART B. SCHEDULING
