Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP)

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) are a set of rules established by the U.S. Supreme Court to govern civil legal cases in federal courts. They outline the procedures for filing lawsuits, conducting discovery, presenting evidence, and conducting trials. The FRCP ensures that cases are handled fairly and efficiently, providing guidelines for both parties involved. These rules aim to promote uniformity and clarity in the judicial process, making it easier for individuals and attorneys to navigate civil litigation in the federal court system.
