In his session, titled “Rule 45 and Nonparty Discovery: Updated guidance in the age of proportionality and the rise of third-party apps,” Baker and five panelists led a dialogue about practical guidance for non-party subpoena recipients to successfully assert proportionality arguments, manage scope and recoup costs of discovery.
Baker has more than 20 years of experience in successfully trying and appealing a variety of business tort, contract, real estate, taxation and class action suits before state and federal trial courts, Arkansas appellate courts, and the Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Louis, Missouri. John serves as a court-appointed member of the Arkansas Supreme Court Committee on Civil Practice and recently led the work in formally proposing revisions to Rule 45 of the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure.
