Rule 3.00. Filing of Local Rules Upon Adoption

Upon adoption of a local rule of practice, a court or division shall file the rule with its clerk, the

clerk of the Supreme Court, and, if the rule relates to the use of information technology, the

Supreme Court Commission on Technology and the Courts.

Commentary (July 1, 1997)

Division (B) incorporates and modifies the former requirement that a court or division file local rules

upon adoption with the clerk of the Supreme Court. Division (C) contains a new requirement that each

court and division annually file a complete set of its local rules with the clerk of the Supreme Court or certify

that there were no changes to the local rules in the prior calendar year. Together with the requirement that

local rules be filed with the Supreme Court upon adoption, this provision will ensure that the Supreme Court

has a current, comprehensive set of local rules adopted by each court or division.

Commentary (July 1, 2026)

Division (B) of Rule 5 was renumbered to Rule 3.00 as part of the 2026 restructuring of the Rules

of Superintendence.
