Rule 57 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure

Rule 57 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure is about Declaratory Judgment. It is under Title VII (Judgment) of the Rules.

These rules govern the procedure for obtaining a declaratory judgment under 28 U.S.C. §2201. Rules 38 and 39 govern a demand for a jury trial. The existence of another adequate remedy does not preclude a declaratory judgment that is otherwise appropriate. The court may order a speedy hearing of a declaratory-judgment action.
