D.N.J. L. Civ. R. 83.1

(a) The Court may, by action of the majority of the District Judges of this Court, from time to time,

after giving appropriate public notice and an opportunity for comment, amend these Rules. All such

amendments shall be consistent with the United States Constitution, Federal statutory law, and the Federal

Rules of Civil and Criminal Procedure. Any Rule or Rule amendment adopted pursuant to this Rule shall take

effect upon the date specified by this Court and shall have such effect on pending proceedings as this Court may

direct. All Rules of this Court shall remain in effect unless amended by the Court or abrogated by the Judicial

Council of the Third Circuit. Copies of these Rules and any amendments thereto shall, upon their promulgation,

be furnished to the Judicial Council of the Third Circuit, the Administrative Office of the United States Courts,

and made available to the public.

(b) If the Court determines that there is an immediate need for a Rule or amendment to these Rules,

it may promulgate such a Rule or Rule amendment without public notice and an opportunity for comment. The

Court shall promptly thereafter afford such notice and opportunity for comment.
