Local Rule LR 43.2: EXCUSAL OF WITNESSES

LR 43.2 EXCUSAL OF WITNESSES

All witnesses called to testify will be subject to the control of counsel who subpoenaed them (or secured their voluntary appearance). At the close of the witness' testimony, counsel need not ask the Court's permission to excuse the witness. Rather, the witness may be excused unless other counsel requests at that time that the witness not be excused. If the witness is not excused, the witness must remain within the environs of the courtroom for the remainder of the court session on that day. Attendance on subsequent dates is not required unless the party desiring the witness' attendance serves a subpoena upon the witness. Payment of a witness' per diem and other covered expenses is the responsibility of counsel who on that date has the witness under subpoena.
