The District Of Delaware Proposes Revised Local Rules

On February 25, the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware published proposed revisions to its local rules, which were last modified August 1, 2016. The proposed revised rules were recommended by the Lawyers Advisory Committee of the District of Delaware with approval of the court.

Most of the revisions conform the previous version of the local rules to what is often considered standard operating procedure in the district. Even so, it is important for all litigants and counsel with cases in the District of Delaware to be aware of the revisions. BakerHostetler’s Delaware attorneys are available to provide any additional boots-on-the-ground advice and assistance relating to same. A summary of the key proposed revisions follows.
