Local Rules Committee

Follows changes and proposed changes to the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure and Evidence that occur at the national level, develops proposed revisions to the local rules to accommodate those national rule changes, and periodically suggests changes to the local rules to improve practice in this District. The committee works closely with the court’s local rules committee on these projects. The committee also acts as a spokesperson for the FBA-WDWA before the rules committee of the Judicial Conference of the United States.
