An ordinary standing rule is a rule that is established and authoritative, and guides conduct or action in a given situation. It is a regulation that governs the internal procedures of a court or agency, or the orderly conduct of business in a deliberative assembly. It is different from a special rule, which is a rule of continuing force, and a joint rule, which is adopted by both houses of a bicameral legislature. A standing rule can relate to an organization's administration or operation, such as the time and place of regular meetings or a committee's jurisdiction. It can also be a special rule applicable to a class of cases or circumstances.
