When I woke up this morning to go to contracts I came to a realization that, holy crap, I leave for Alabama tomorrow morning. This means that I have about 1,000 things to do today and that leaves no time for class… so I’m at home getting things done… but, even still, I’m Doug’s sheep… so I’m going to play the game too.
YOU ARE RULE 12(b)!
While you might be a defendant’s best friend, you
aren’t exactly polite to others. You have
seven separate grounds on which to dismiss a
plaintiff’s case. You are a bit paranoid,
since if you fail to raise your 12(b)(2,3,4, or
7) in a motion or a pleading with one of the
other 12(b) defenses or a 12(e) motion, you
waive those objections for the rest of trial.
Some might say that 12(b) is the biggest bully
of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but
hey, somebody needs to keep the peace. You
might not be the most popular guy in the
office, but you’re probably the most important.
Which Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Are You?

Hmmm… interesting… as much as I’m not terribly familiar with American law specifics… this is what I got:
YOU ARE RULE 8(a)!
You are Rule 8, the most laid back of all the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. While your forefather in the Federal Rules may have been a stickler for details and particularity, you have clearly rebelled by being pleasant and easy-going. Rule 8 only requires that a plaintiff provide a short and plain statement of a claim on which a court can grant relief. While there is much to be lauded in your approach, your good nature sometimes gets you in trouble, and you often have to rely on your good friend, Rule 56, to bail you out.

it seems so weird to see 12(b) without a number after it (usually a 6). Just seeing it written like that or saying it to yourself seems so wrong - It just seems so… naked. Maybe it’s the Nyquil, but I think 12(b) might be the loniest the rule, he needs a friend - he needs a number.
