Miscellaneous

Like other circuit courts? web sites, the U.S. Fifth Circuit?s web site has an on-line copy of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the Fifth Circuit?s local rules, and its internal operating procedures. Another valuable document on the Fifth Circuit?s web site is the Practitioner?s Guide to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. If you practice before the Fifth Circuit, then be aware of these on-line resources, bookmark them, and refer to them often.

If you practice before one of the other federal circuit courts, check the court?s web site to see whether it too has on-line copies of its local rules, internal operating procedures, or its own practictioner?s guide.
