WHICH FEDERAL RULE OF CIVIL PROCEDURE ARE YOU? 
From Michelle Boardman of Volokh Conspiracy membership, informs us about a Web Program that asks: Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure are You? I'm Rule 15:

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.
