K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. INTRODUCTION - 1984 Revision The General Rules of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey have undergone a complete revision for the first time in many years. The catalyst for this project was a request in the autumn of 1983 from then Chief Judge Collins J. Seitz of the Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit, who requested that we assess our local rules to determine whether there was strict compliance with the Federal Rules of Civil, Criminal and Appellate Procedure. To that end, the Court asked the United States District Court Lawyers Advisory Committee to undertake the evaluation and, in addition, advise the Court as to those rules which the Committee felt could be revised in order to simplify practice before the United States District Court as well as comply with the spirit of Rule 1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requiring that "rules shall be construed to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action." A committee of Court officials was appointed to work with the Lawyers Advisory Committee.

The full Committee was composed of the following: Donald A. Robinson, Esquire, Chairman Jonathan L. Goldstein, Esquire Joseph H. Kenney, Esquire Joseph H. Markowitz, Esquire William J. O’Shaughnessy, Esquire Honorable John F. Gerry, U.S.D.J. Honorable Dickinson R. Debevoise, U.S.D.J. Honorable John W. Bissell, U.S.D.J. Honorable Jerome B. Simandle, U.S.M.J. Allyn Z. Lite, Esquire, Clerk of the Court The Committee notified the bar of its project and sought comments as to which rules the bar wished to see modified and what changes should be made. The Committee considered the responses from the bar and presented to the Court a proposed new rule book. The Conference of Judges of the United States District Court tentatively adopted the rules pending their initial publication and further comment from the bar. Unless such comment creates the need for further major revision, it is expected that the new rules will be effective on October 1, 1984.

The Court wishes to extend its appreciation to the members of the Lawyer's Advisory Committee for their exceptional efforts in bringing this project to completion. An undertaking of this magnitude simply would not have been possible without the experience, concern, sensitivity and professionalism of the members of the Committee. The entire bar is in their debt.

Chief Judge For the Court Newark, New Jersey October 1, 1984 FOREWORD - 1997 Revision Pursuant to Congressional mandate (P.L. 103-317), this Court, during the past six months, has divided its General Rules into Local Civil Rules and Local Criminal Rules, renumbered to correspond to their counterparts in the Federal Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure. Those Local Rules without a counterpart were assigned numbers in the 100s (court administration), 200s (arbitration), 300s (mediation) and 400s (medical coverage). This Court and the Lawyers Advisory Committee appointed a special subcommittee to undertake this project, comprised of Judge John W. Bissell, Magistrate Judge John J. Hughes, Rosemary Alito, Esq., Allyn Z. Lite, Esq., and Daniel R. Guadalupe, Esq. Gann Law Books of Newark, N.J., provided invaluable assistance in generating both the drafts reviewed by the subcommittee and this Court and the final product which the Court's Board of Judges has adopted.

Gann's important contributions also include the Conversion Tables, Source References and Renumbering Committee's Comments which accompanied the drafts of the renumbered Local Civil and Criminal Rules. After publication of the final draft in February 1997 in the New Jersey Law Journal and the New Jersey Lawyer, all comments from the bar and the public were considered and any final modifications incorporated into the present product which the Court adopted, effective April 1, 1997. The Board of Judges renews its thanks to the Lawyers Advisory Committee, the Renumbering Committee and Gann Law Books for their significant contributions to the important project of renumbering the Local Rules of this Court.
