Effective Date
These rules shall take effect on September 1, 1988. They govern all proceedings in criminal actions
brought after they take effect and also all further proceedings then pending, except to the extent that
in the opinion of the court their application in a particular action pending when the rules take effect
would not be feasible or would work injustice, in which event the former procedure applies.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
