Today is the final day to comment on pending amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and other federal procedural rules

Today is the final day to comment on pending amendments to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure and other federal procedural rules: I linked to the text of those amendments, and to the email address where comments can be submitted, in the February 4, 2008 installment of my "On Appeal" column for law.com, headlined "Deadline for Commenting on Federal Appellate Rule Amendments Is Fast Approaching."

This comment from Brian Wolfman of Public Citizen Litigation Group echoes one of the concerns that I voiced in that essay. And attorney Stephen P. Stoltz has submitted a comment questioning whether setting a deadline at "midnight" on a particular day means that the deadline occurs immediately upon the beginning of the day instead of at the day's absolute completion. You can access all of the comments relating to the proposed appellate rule changes via this link.
