What the rules cover

Each rule sits under the part of the book that explains it. These are the chapters and tables with the most rules.

How we check

Each rule binds the filings within its scope: a court, a judge’s cases, or a type of paper, so read the scope in the rule’s text. Each row carries the book’s label: Requirement means an official rule binds the document; Legal status says what a source is or what duty comes with filing it; Permission to cite and Precedential weight say whether a court lets you cite something and how much it binds. See 1.3 What the labels mean and 1.2 Whose rules govern?.

  • Source text

    Each row links to the official text where the issuer publishes one, and otherwise to the most reliable copy we found; the link says which. You read the rule itself, not a summary of it.

  • Effective date

    The date the cited text took effect, or, where the source dates only the rule’s latest amendment, that date. If the source states neither, the row says so.

  • Checked date

    The day we last opened the source and confirmed the text and its effective date. Every row shows it.
