| | Rule 184a. Judicial Notice of Law of Other States, Etc. (1943) |
 | | Any party requesting that judicial notice be taken of such matter shall furnish the judge sufficient information to enable him to properly comply with the request, and shall give each adverse party such notice, if any, as the judge may deem necessary, to enable the adverse party to fairly prepare to meet such request. |
 | | The words "judicial notice of the common law, public statutes and court decisions of every other state, territory or jurisdiction of the United States" used in the Rule relate to governmental units of the United States, such as a state, territory, District of Columbia and non-territorial islands of the United States. |
 | | As stated, the sole purpose of the Rule was to permit the courts of this state to take judicial notice of the common law, public statutes or court decisions of other states or territories, and not to change the rule with respect to judicial notice of federal statutes and decisions. |
