Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP) are a set of rules, promulgated by the Supreme Court of the United States on recommendation of an advisory committee, to govern procedures in cases in the United States Courts of Appeals.
The Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure were adopted in 1967. Prior to that date, some aspects of appellate procedure were covered in the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
In addition to these rules, procedure in the Courts of Appeals is governed by applicable statutes (particularly Title 28 of the United States Code) and by local rules adopted by each individual court.
