The Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure are the procedural rules governing how criminal prosecutions are conducted in the United States district courts. Adopted by the Supreme Court in two stages, December 1944 and February 1946, they took effect on 21 March 1946 and serve as the criminal counterpart to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, governing federal criminal proceedings from the initiation of a case through and after verdict; admissibility of evidence itself is instead governed separately by the Federal Rules of Evidence.
