is a notarized IOU as valid as a promissory note?

I want to make sure I have documentation that will hold up in court for a loan I have given to a friend. Will a notarized IOU (writen by me in my wording) suffice, or do I need a promissory note?

Deposing opposing counsel

I am a plaintiff in pro per. I have discovered that the opposing counsel has knowledge of relevant facts for my case. These facts are crucial to preparation of my case.

Also, I can not obtain the relevant information from other means.

1) Do I need court permission to depose the opposing counsel?

2) If yes, what form do I use for this?

3) Based on my discovery that the opposing counsel tried to negatively influence a contractor to change his report in the favor of the defendant, is this action considered as mal-practice on the part of the opposing counsel?

4) If yes, should I address this in my current lawsuit in the superior court, or this will be a new lawsuit against the opposing counsel?

I greatly appreciate clarification and your time.

Second part, majority of the time a CWOF is followed by Administrative Probation. Is this considered Pre-Trial probation? If so would they need to wait the 5 years to become eligible?
