Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) govern the conduct of all civil actions and proceedings brought in Federal District Courts. The rules are promulgated by the United States Supreme Court and then approved by the United States Congress. The Court's modifications to the rules are usually based on recommendations from the Judicial Conference of the United States, the federal judiciary's internal policy-making body.
The Supplemental Federal Rules for Admiralty or Maritime Claims are included in an Appendix to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. The federal district courts have jurisdiction over admiralty and maritime actions (28 USC §1333). Therefore, some United States District Courts may have Admiralty and Maritime Local Rules.
