• Send all the Required information as part of your comments.
  In all cases, a First and Last Name, as well as your email or postal address should be submitted with the comments. If there are questions or clarifications needed on the comments, the contact information will be essential.

  • Appellate Rules, Bankruptcy Rules, Civil Rules, Criminal Rules, Miscellaneous, Proposed Style Revision of the Criminal Rules
  • Rule Number

• Comment Tips:
  • State the comment clearly.
  • Separate multiple comments with blank lines for easier readability.

   

• If you are using Internet Email to submit the comments, it is a good idea to send a copy of the email to yourself to ensure the message was sent properly.

• When using the Web-based Comment Form, all comments must be typed in the comment box at the bottom of the form. Once the Web-based Comment Form is submitted (by clicking the submit button at the bottom of the form), a "thank you" page will load to show that the comments were submitted successfully.

• Be sure your comments are complete before submitting them. Once a submission has been sent you will have to begin the commenting process again to submit any further comments.

• Do not submit comments via the Webmaster mail function on the homepage. They cannot be accepted by the Webmaster and cannot be forwarded.
  However, the webmaster will provide assistance with technical problems you might have submitting your comments electronically through the Webmaster mail function on the homepage.
