Fed. R. Civ. P. 57
Declaratory Judgment
These rules govern the procedure for obtaining a declaratory
judgment under 28 U.S.C. § 2201. Rules 38 and 39 govern a demand
for a jury trial. The existence of another adequate remedy does
not preclude a declaratory judgment that is otherwise appropriate. The court may order a speedy hearing of a declaratory-judgment action.

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.
