Amendments to the Federal Rules of Practice and Procedure

Monday, December 1, 2025

Congress has taken no action on the proposed amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate, Bankruptcy, and Civil Procedure adopted by the Supreme Court and transmitted to Congress on April 23, 2025. Under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2074 and 2075, and the Supreme Court orders dated April 23, 2025, the amendments govern all proceedings commenced on or after December 1, 2025, and all proceedings then pending “insofar as just and practicable.” Links to the text of the amended rules and the accompanying committee notes—along with extensive supporting documentation related to their adoption—are posted on the Current Rules page of the Judiciary’s website.
