  The site opens with five calculators (answers and pleadings, discovery and pretrial, post-trial motions, notice of appeal, and removal and remand), the federal legal holiday table for 2024 to 2030, and an AI connector, on rules engine v1.0.0. It carries 68 rule rows and 21 authority rows, each quoted from its recorded source with its edition and page on the rule verification record.

  68 rule rows transcribed from the official text on 2026-09-30. None has been countersigned yet.

Pending amendments

No Civil Rule changes on December 1, 2026. The Supreme Court's April 8, 2026 orders amend Appellate Form 4 (the order calls it an amendment to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure), certain Bankruptcy Rules and Evidence Rule 801; Appellate Rules 4 and 26 do not change. Civil Rules 7.1, 26, 41, 45 and 81 are projected for December 1, 2027: the Standing Committee approved them, Judicial Conference action is not confirmed, and the Supreme Court must still adopt them. Changes to Civil Rules 5, 5.2, 6 and 55 were published for comment in August 2026 for December 1, 2028.
