No Court Rule Sets Added or Removed Since the Last Update

Detailed information regarding updated rules can be found on the Rule Update Details page.


 AMENDED IMPORTANT UPDATE:

Effective December 1st, FRCP, FRCRCP, FRBP, and FRAP have amended their rules to remove electronic service from the modes of service that allow an additional three (3) days to respond.

The following Federal courts had local rules that provided a unique service offset before December 1st. They have amended their local rules effective December 1st to align with the amended Federal rules. We have updated the Federal courts accordingly to reflect such change for the mid-December release.

  • USCoA, 5th Circuit (5CIRCT)
  • USDC, Central District of Illinois (CDILDC)
  • USDC, Southern District of Illinois (SDIL)
  • USDC, Western District of Michigan (MIWD)
  • USDC, District of Rhode Island (RIDC)
  • USDC, Eastern District of Texas (EDTX)

The following courts have a local rule that provide a unique service offset. These courts either do not have proposed amendments/notices regarding the Federal electronic service amendment or have stated that they will continue to provide the 3-day electronic service offset. Therefore, we will continue to abide by their local rules.

  • USCoA, 9th Circuit (9CIRCT)
  • USBC, District of Massachusetts (MABK)
  • USBC, Western District of North Carolina (NCWB)
  • USBC, Middle District of Tennessee (TNMD)

  • USDC, District of New Jersey (NJDC)
  • USDC, Eastern District of Pennsylvania (EDPA)
  • USDC, District of Puerto Rico (PRD)
  • USDC, Northern District of West Virginia (WVNDCT)

The following courts have local rules that provide a unique service offset; however, they have proposed local rule amendments addressing the offset, which are not finalized. After the local amendments are finalized, we will make the changes accordingly, which will be reflected in your updates package the following month.

  • USDC, Northern and Southern Districts of Iowa (IANSD)
  • USDC, District of Oregon (DOR)
  • USDC, Western District of Virginia (VAWD)
