Attorneys say that there will be less red tape in the way of out-of-state counsel who want to conduct discovery in Pennsylvania now that the state has jettisoned its homegrown rules in favor of a uniform act that has been adopted by 26 other states.
Attorneys also say that it is more efficient and streamlined for Pennsylvania attorneys to conduct discovery and obtain depositions in other states that have adopted the Uniform Interstate Depositions and Discovery Act. The uniform law was drafted by the National Conference of Commissioners on Uniform State Laws.
