Rule 9 Section 25 to be Amended
Simultaneously with the entry of this order, the Court is releasing its opinion in John Doe v. Jane Doe, No. M2003-01142-SC-S25-BP. In that opinion, we held that the confidentiality requirement set out in section 25 of Rule 9, Tenn. S. Ct. R., violates the free speech protections of Article I, section 19 of the Tennessee Constitution and of the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. We stated in the opinion that we would publish a proposed amendment to Rule 9, section 25, addressing the constitutional concerns discussed in the opinion.
The Court hereby solicits written comments on the proposed amendment from the bench, the bar, and the public. The deadline has been extended to August 2, 2004, by order of the Supreme Court.
Michael W. Catalano, Clerk
