Yes, the Rules took effect on the 1st and may apply to litigation that commenced prior to that if the case is at the earliest stages on December 1st or later. Several states previously adopted the Rules -- New Jersey, for example, revised its rules and they were effective in September.

Subject: [RM] Federal Rules of Civil Procedure - Are amendments now in effect?
I noted that it is already Dec. 11 and my last note on this issue states
that Congress was expected to adopt Dec 1.
Did this happen? More importantly, are the new rules now "in effect"?
Thanks!
Chuck Piotrowski
