A quick definition of rule of court:

A rule of court is a set of guidelines that explain how things are done in a particular court. It helps everyone involved in a case to understand what they need to do and how they should do it. There are federal rules of court that apply to all courts, and there are also local rules that apply only to a specific court. Local rules can cover things like how many copies of a document need to be filed or what is allowed in the courtroom.

A more thorough explanation:

A rule of court is a regulation that governs the practice or procedure in a specific court. It can be a federal rule of court or a local rule.

A federal rule of court is a regulation that applies to all courts within the jurisdiction. For example, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure are a set of rules that govern civil cases in all federal courts. These rules cover a wide range of topics, such as how to file a complaint, how to serve a defendant, and how to conduct discovery.

A local rule is a regulation that applies only to a specific court within the jurisdiction. For example, a local rule might require parties to file extra copies of motions or prohibit the use of electronic devices in the courtroom. These rules are designed to address the unique needs and circumstances of a particular court.

Overall, rules of court are important because they help ensure that cases are handled fairly and efficiently. By following these rules, parties can avoid confusion and delays, and judges can make informed decisions based on the facts and the law.
