Organization

The local rules are organized into civil rules and criminal rules. The rules are numbered to correspond to the Federal Rule of Civil or Criminal Procedure, which the local rule augments. Local general rules have been assigned numbers consecutively. In addition, general rules on attorney admission, conduct and general court matters are included in the civil rules enacted to augment FRCP 83. The civil rules augment the criminal rules on issues where the criminal rules are silent.
