Reporter's Explanation of Changes
TEXT:
The Commission is not recommending any change to the Rule text.
COMMENT:
[1] The Commission concluded that the reference in the second sentence to indulging delay "merely for the convenience of the advocates" is too restrictive and modified it to recognize that there are circumstances where it is acceptable for a lawyer to request a postponement for personal reasons.
