As Congress took no action on the rule amendments transmitted by the Supreme Court on April 23, 2025, changes to the Federal Rules of Appellate, Bankruptcy, and Civil Procedure took effect on December 1, 2025, under 28 U.S.C. §§ 2074–75. Appellate amendments include updates to Rules 6 and 39.  Also effective December 1, 2025, are changes to 5th Cir. R. 25.2.1, clarifying that parties need not provide paper copies of pleadings unless requested by the clerk. Updated documents posted on our website reflect these changes.

Links to upcoming hearings are contained in the document listed below.  Live audio links are active only during arguments and are paused between cases or during any technical issues.  For those unable to listen live, we continue to post audio recordings after the proceeding, on the oral argument recordings page.
