Judge-specific filing rules are scattered across court PDFs. Privacy enforcement actions are buried in agency press releases. We structure both so legal teams can act on them instantly.
CourtRules.app covers 630+ federal judges across 20+ courts and 1,100+ enforcement actions from 21 jurisdictions (FTC, HHS, 19 state AGs). 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. That's 630+ active judges, each with standing orders covering 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, and 19 state attorneys general 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:
Associates spend 15–30 minutes per new case just locating the right PDF. Compliance teams manually track enforcement trends across agencies. Legal ops teams piece together regulatory risk from fragmented sources.
This wastes time that could be spent on substantive work. And it creates risk: a missed rule can mean a rejected filing, and a missed enforcement trend can mean inadequate compliance.
CourtRules.app structures two categories of legal data: judge-specific court rules across 20+ federal districts, and privacy enforcement actions from 21 jurisdictions. Both are kept current and linked to original source documents.
We continuously check court websites for updates to standing orders and individual practice rules across every district we cover, so you're always working with the latest 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. You can always verify against the source. We never ask you to take our word for it.
Designed with input from litigators, paralegals, and docketing clerks. Every feature exists because someone in practice told us they needed it.
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.
Big firms can afford expensive research platforms. Solo practitioners, legal aid attorneys, and small-firm paralegals often can't. That means the people who can least afford to miss a rule are the ones most likely to.
We believe everyone should have equal access to structured legal data. The playing field will never be perfectly level, but at least everyone should know the rules and the enforcement landscape.
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.
Our commitment: The website will remain free forever. We will never put court rules or enforcement data behind a paywall.
Every rule cites the original document and page number. You can always check the source yourself.
Built with input from people who file in court every day. Organized the way you actually work.
We're upfront about what's verified, what's new, and where our coverage stands. No black boxes.
Look up any judge's filing rules or search 1,100+ enforcement actions across 21 jurisdictions. All in one place, and always free.
