Boy howdy, don’t you find some weird things out there in Quizland. But this one is so totally me. Absolutist, but not, like, all uptight about it.
Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?
YOU ARE RULE 15!
You’re a very helpful rule! You allow the attorney to amend their complaint once as a matter of course at any time before the answer is filed, and also allow amendments in other cases. If a claim relates back to the original transaction or occurrence outlined in the complaint, you can amend the complaint, even though the statute of limitations has run. Like a good friend, you’re always there to help out in a bind.

YOU ARE RULE 8(a)!
You are Rule 8, the most laid back of all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While your forefather in the Federal Rules may have been a stickler for details and particularity, you have clearly rebelled by being pleasant and easy-going. Rule 8 only requires that a plaintiff provide a short and plain statement of a claim on which a court can grant relief. While there is much to be lauded in your approach, your good nature sometimes gets you in trouble, and you often have to rely on your good friend, Rule 56, to bail you out.
At least there’s no bodice involved . . .
So how did you get along until Rule 56 was enacted?
Pleasant anarchy, m’dear . . . .
Apparently I’m also Rule 8, but I suspect I am really Rule 8’s evil vinyl-clad twin.
