CourtRules

CourtRules helps legal teams find court rules that vary by judge, court, and rule topic—such as page & word limits, courtesy copy requirements, pre-motion expectations, document format rules, sealing/redaction procedures, and electronic filing practices. You can search by judge, court, or topic, and each rule result links directly to the court’s source document so you can confirm the exact language before filing.

The platform also includes a suite of deadline and calendar tools. Use the deadline calculator to count court days and business days toward a filing deadline, or the federal deadline calculator to compute deadlines under federal rules while accounting for federal holidays. You can also view court holiday and closure calendars for federal and state courts to support accurate deadline calculations.

CourtRules further supports privacy/compliance workflows with an enforcement actions view focused on privacy fines and settlements, broken down by agency and violation type.

For legal-tech teams building inside their own products or assistants, the same underlying rules and related data are available through a REST API and an MCP server. CourtRules is free with no sign-up, and it explicitly reminds users to confirm requirements with the court’s source document.
