Rule 59 Effective Date - Statutes Superseded

(a) Effective Date. Any amendment or addition to these rules is effective on the date ordered by the supreme court. These rules, and any amendment or addition, govern all criminal proceedings and actions brought after their effective date, and all further proceedings in actions pending on their effective date. If a court decides that application of these rules, or any amendment or addition to these rules, in a particular action pending when the rules or any amendment or addition took effect would not be feasible, or would work an injustice, the previous procedure must apply.

(b) Statutes Superseded. Upon the effective date of these rules, or upon the effective date of any amendment or addition to these rules, any statute or rule, or portion of a statute or rule, in conflict with these rules or any amendment or addition to these rules is superseded.
