Read a random definition: necessary and proper

A quick definition of local rule:

Local rule: A special rule made by a court that applies only to that court. It can be about things like how many copies of papers need to be filed or what people can do in the courtroom. It's like a special rule just for that court.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A local rule is a rule that is specific to a particular court or jurisdiction. It is based on the physical conditions of a state and the character, customs, and beliefs of its people. Local rules supplement the procedural rules that apply to all courts within the jurisdiction.

For example, a local rule may require extra copies of motions to be filed with the court or prohibit the reading of newspapers in the courtroom. These rules are put in place to ensure that the court operates efficiently and fairly.

Another example of a local rule is a requirement that all parties in a case attend a settlement conference before the trial. This rule may be specific to a particular court or jurisdiction and is designed to encourage parties to settle their disputes before going to trial.

Overall, local rules are important because they help to ensure that the court operates smoothly and that all parties are treated fairly. They are based on the unique characteristics of a particular jurisdiction and are designed to meet the needs of the people who live and work there.
