A quick definition of rules of court:

Rules of court are a set of guidelines that must be followed by people who are involved in a court case. These rules tell you what you can and cannot do in court, and they are different depending on what kind of case you have. There are rules for criminal cases, rules for civil cases, rules for presenting evidence, and rules for appealing a decision. Each court has its own set of rules, and they tell you things like when you need to file paperwork, how many copies you need to make, and how much it will cost. Following the rules of court is important because it helps make sure that everyone is treated fairly and that the court can make the best decision possible.

A more thorough explanation:

Rules of court are a set of guidelines that must be followed by parties and their lawyers when dealing with matters within a court's jurisdiction. These rules are put in place to ensure that court proceedings are fair and just for all parties involved.

Rules of court are often categorized into different types, including:

For example, criminal procedure rules outline the steps that must be taken during a criminal trial, while civil procedure rules outline the steps that must be taken during a civil trial.

Federal court rules are based on the Federal Rules of Procedure and are adopted by district courts. Most states also have their own state court rules that apply statewide. Additionally, many county, district, and municipal court judges have their own "local rules" of court.

Local court rules specify things like the time allowed to file papers, the format of documents, the number of copies to be filed, the procedure to file a motion, fees for filing various documents, and other matters.

For example, let's say that a person is involved in a civil lawsuit. They would need to follow the civil procedure rules when filing their case in court. This would include things like filling out the correct forms, serving the other party with the necessary documents, and following the proper timeline for filing motions and responses.

Additionally, if the lawsuit is being heard in a specific county, the person would need to follow the local court rules for that county. These rules might specify things like the acceptable format for documents and the number of copies that need to be filed.
