How federal court rules stack

Federal litigation usually requires three checks: the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the district's local rules, and the assigned judge's individual practices or standing orders. The district page gives you the court-level context. Judge pages show filing requirements such as page limits, courtesy copies, pre-motion letters, formatting, and communication rules.
