Are there examples of 'Rule 5.1. Constitutional Challenge to a Statute' applied to challenge a Federal statute. Thanks,
Rule 5.1 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure applies to both claims that federal and state laws are unconstitutional. Parties making such claims must provide notice to the Attorney General of the United States or to the Attorney General of the relevant state, even if those officers are not being sued. There is no requirement that these officers be notified if a party is relying only on an interpretation of federal or state law.
