Any amendment to these Rules shall be published in The Daily Washington Law Reporter before
its adoption. The notice shall state that the proposed amendment will be adopted unless modified
or withdrawn after receiving comments from organized bar associations, members of the bar, and
the public. Such comments shall be submitted in writing within 45 days of publication to the
Chair of the Advisory Committee on District Court Rules. If the Court determines there is an
immediate need for a particular local rule or amendment to an existing local rule, it may proceed
without public notice and opportunity for comment, but the Court shall promptly thereafter
afford such notice and opportunity for comment.
