This section sets basic procedures for cases in the United States Court of Federal Claims. Parties may appear personally or through attorneys, and the court uses its own procedure rules and the Federal Rules of Evidence.
(a) A party may appear before a Court of Federal Claims judge personally or through an attorney, present evidence, and question witnesses.
(b) Proceedings must follow the court’s practice and procedure rules, except evidence rules, and the Federal Rules of Evidence.
(c) Judges must set trial times, administer oaths or affirmations, question witnesses, receive evidence, and enter final judgments. When convenient, hearings should be held in counties where witnesses live.
(d) For interpreting sections 1821, 1915, 1920, and 1927 of this title, the Court of Federal Claims is treated as a court of the United States*.
Parties to any suit in the United States Court of Federal Claims may appear before a judge of that court in person or by attorney, produce evidence, and examine witnesses.
The proceedings of the Court of Federal Claims shall be in accordance with such rules of practice and procedure (other than the rules of evidence) as the Court of Federal Claims may prescribe and in accordance with the Federal Rules of Evidence.
The judges of the Court of Federal Claims shall fix times for trials, administer oaths or affirmations, examine witnesses, receive evidence, and enter dispositive judgments. Hearings shall, if convenient, be held in the counties where the witnesses reside.
For the purpose of construing sections 1821, 1915, 1920, and 1927 of this title, the United States Court of Federal Claims shall be deemed to be a court of the United States*.
