2012 Advisory Committee's Note to LR 1.3
The language of LR 1.3 has been amended in accordance with the restyling process described in the 2012 Advisory Committee's Preface on Stylistic Amendments. For the sake of both clarity and consistency with Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)(1), LR 1.3 now specifies that it applies to "an attorney, law firm, or party." This is not a substantive change.
