Court Rules

Court Rules is a specialized legal research and compliance platform positioned as a single searchable source for federal and state court rules, judge-specific standing orders, individual practices, local rules, and filing requirements. It is designed for litigators, paralegals, legal operations teams, in-house counsel, compliance professionals, and developers building legal AI tools. Core features include judge and court search, rule-topic comparison across courts, judge standing order pages, federal and state court directories, court holiday calendars, deadline and court-days calculators, privacy enforcement action records, and a compliance check API that can review a PDF filing against a judge's rules. Content features emphasize traceability: every rule links to the court's own source document, page number, and section, so users can verify requirements before filing. The platform covers page limits, word limits, courtesy copy rules, pre-motion conference requirements, document formatting, sealing and redaction, electronic filing, discovery disputes, and chambers preferences. User experience is search-first, with a command-style search bar, quick prompts, court-near-you suggestions, and browsable indexes by circuit and state. Technical features include an MCP server at mcp.courtrules.app and a REST API at api.courtrules.app, supporting AI assistants such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code, Windsurf, and Codex CLI. Public browsing is free and requires no sign-up; API and MCP access require a console account and API key. The site also aggregates FTC, HHS HIPAA, and state attorney general privacy enforcement actions with contract search terms, helping legal teams monitor regulatory risk.
