About to be restyled

As December 1 approaches, so too does the "restyling" of the federal rules.  We  first  noted the amendments a few days after the Supreme Court approved the rules.  Since then, we've linked to writings by Professors Dorf and Hartnett  here, interviewed Hartnett, and interviewed Prof. Parker about his letter urging Congress to postpone the effectiveness of the amendments.   Thanks to everyone who contributed on this topic, and especially to those who commented on an earlier draft of our essay, which now appears at Washington University's Slip Opinions:  The Restyling of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure:  A Solution in Search of a Problem.  --RR
