[Adopted effective November 1, 1996; amended May 14, 2013; abrogated June 10, 2026]
2026 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 83.12
LR 83.12 is abrogated as unnecessary because it merely cites the statutory authority and relevant
rules of the Eighth Circuit and the Judicial Conference of the United States governing complaints against a
judge. The court’s public website provides a link to the portion of the Eighth Circuit’s website that includes
this information.
2013 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 83.12
The language of LR 83.12 has been amended in accordance with the restyling process described
in the 2012 Advisory Committee’s Preface on Stylistic Amendments. In addition, LR 83.12 has been revised
to refer not only to the relevant Eighth Circuit rules, but also to the relevant rules of the Judicial Conference
of the United States.
1996 Advisory Committee’s Note to LR 83.12
LR 83.12 was added in the 1996 amendments upon consideration by the Committee of the request
of Judge William J. Bauer, Chairman of the Committee to Review Circuit Council Conduct and Disability
Orders of the Judicial Conference of the United States, that federal district courts include in their Local
Rules a reference to the procedure established by 28 U.S.C. § 372(c) and to the Circuit Court rules
governing the process. The Judicial Council of the Eighth Circuit agreed with this proposal at its meeting
of December 6, 1994. See letter from the Honorable William J. Bauer to the Honorable Richard S. Arnold,
October 14, 1994; letter from the Honorable Richard S. Arnold to the Honorable William J. Bauer, December
7, 1994.
