As a communications and socio-legal scholar, the author intends to 
explore the evolution of a particular communications practice in the 
legal process. This book has been an objective and subjective 
intellectual journey through time and jurisdictions, respectively. This

narrative, expands on examples of enactment practices of states and 
jurisdictions that support, challenge or even reject communication 
during pending litigations, in the legal process.
