INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

Notes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure were prepared by the Reporter, Dean Clark, and his staff, in order to show the source of each rule, and to aid the Advisory Committee in framing their recommendations; to assist the members of the profession in their study of the Committee's preliminary drafts; and to aid the Supreme Court in its consideration of the Committee's report.

Notes were first published with the Committee's Preliminary Draft of May 1936. They were revised and published with the Committee's Report of April 1937, and have been revised again to conform to the Committee's Final Report of November 1937, and to the rules as approved by the Court, December 20, 1937, both of which included some rearrangement and renumbering of rules.

The notes in their revised form are now published by the Committee in order to preserve for the use of the profession material which the Reporter has so industriously gathered during the two and one-half years of the Committee's service. The notes show the background in Federal or State statutes and judicial decisions, in the Federal equity rules, or in the British system, of the procedure recommended by the Advisory Committee.

Statements in the notes about the present state of the law, or the extent to which existing statutes have been superseded by or incorporated in the rules, should be taken only as suggestions and guides to source material. Such statements, and any other statements in the notes as to the purpose or effect of the rules, can have no greater force than the reasons which may be adduced to support them. The notes are not part of the rules, and the Supreme Court has not approved or otherwise assumed responsibility for them. They have no official sanction, and can have no controlling weight with the courts, when applying the rules in litigated cases.
