About Court Rules
Court Rules is a free reference for U.S. federal court practice: the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, district local rules, individual judge standing orders and court holidays, organized by court. The deadline calculator counts calendar, business and court days and applies each district's holidays. A public API and an MCP server at courtrules.app/mcp serve the same data to legal-tech tools.
Court Rules is a free reference and toolkit for U.S. federal and state court practice. It organizes the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, district local rules, individual judge standing orders and court holidays by court and by judge, so a lawyer or legal technologist can find page limits, courtesy copy requirements, pre-motion conference rules, document format rules and sealing procedures without digging through PDFs. Every rule links back to the court's own document so it can be checked before filing. Deadline calculators count calendar, business and court days for any district and apply that district's closure calendar. The same data is served to legal-tech tools through a public REST API and an MCP server at courtrules.app/mcp, so AI assistants and case-management tools can read current court rules. Free, no sign-up.
