Advisory Committee on Civil Rules

The Advisory Committee on Civil Rules is a group of legal experts that reviews and recommends changes to the rules governing civil court procedures in federal courts. Their goal is to make these rules clear, fair, and efficient, helping ensure that civil cases—such as disputes between individuals or organizations—are handled consistently and justly. The committee studies current rules, considers feedback from judges, lawyers, and the public, and suggests updates to improve the legal process. Their work helps shape the guidelines that courts follow when resolving civil legal matters across the United States.
