CourtRules.app covers judge filing rules, state and local court resources, court holidays, and privacy enforcement data from federal and state sources. Free for individual users, with an API for legal tech platforms.
Court rules: Every district has its own local rules. Every judge has their own individual practice requirements. Covered judges publish standing orders for page limits, formatting, courtesy copies, motion practice, and more. These rules determine whether your filing gets accepted or rejected.
Enforcement intelligence: Privacy enforcement actions from the FTC, HHS, state attorneys general, and privacy regulators are published as press releases and consent orders across dozens of agency websites. Legal and compliance teams need this data to assess risk, but there is no single structured source.
Finding this information takes too long:
We check covered court websites about once a month. Confirm the linked source before you file; the court may have posted a newer version.
Rules are categorized the way you actually use them: drafting requirements, filing procedures, courtesy copy rules, and chambers contact preferences. Not buried in a single PDF.
Every rule links back to the original standing order or individual practice document with page numbers, so you can check the source yourself.
Court rules and enforcement actions are public documents. They're issued by judges and government agencies, published on government websites, and govern public legal systems. Charging for access to public information doesn't sit right with us.
CourtRules.app will always be free for individual users. No paywalls, no subscription tiers, no login required.
While the website is free, we offer a commercial API and MCP server for legal technology companies that want to integrate court rules and enforcement data into their products. The API provides:
Revenue from API subscriptions funds our infrastructure, analysis costs, and ongoing development. This lets us keep the website free for the people who use it every day: the attorneys, paralegals, and compliance professionals doing the work.
