/0 Comments/in , , /by

The Eleventh Circuit has proposed a few more minor rule changes, which will become effective in December, 2010 if approved. The main change is to shift a few ten day deadlines to 14 days rather to ten, to get things back in line with the “days are days” revision to all of the Federal rules.

Have a comment on these proposed changes? Submit your comments to the Court prior to August 21, 2010.
