Below is Rule 86 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 86 deals with Effective Date, and is indexed under Chapter XI, dealing with General Provisions.
(a) In General.
- These rules and any amendments take effect at the time specified by the Supreme Court, subject to 28 U.S.C. § 2074. They govern:
- (1) proceedings in an action commenced after their effective date; and
- (2) proceedings after that date in an action then pending unless:
- (A) the Supreme Court specifies otherwise; or
- (B) the court determines that applying them in a particular action would be infeasible or work an injustice.
(b) December 1, 2007 Amendments.
- If any provision in Rules 1-5.1, 6-73, or 77-86 conflicts with another law, priority in time for the purpose of 28 U.S.C. § 2072(b) is not affected by the amendments taking effect on December 1, 2007.
