Abstract

This Article describes FRCP Rule 8’s origin and explains its intended application; chronicles Rule 8’s history of restriction and misapplication, and the Supreme Court’s contribution to ensuring Rule 8’s treatment in a manner consistent with its drafters’ intentions; then examines Twombly, focusing on the Court’s consideration, expression, and application of Rule 8’s pleading standard in more modern circumstances; and explains how the Twombly Court reaffirmed the intentions of Rule 8’s drafters and re-expressed Rule 8’s liberal pleading requirements
