Welcome to SmartRules™

About Us

smartrules approachSmartRules™ is one of several successful products for legal professionals by RealPractice™. At RP, we’re a group of lawyers and business professionals with a passion for life. Whether it’s heading up to the mountains or down to the beach, or building an innovative company in an important space, we’re enthusiasts.

We’ve taken this enthusiasm and brought it to SmartRules™. As professionals at some of the leading law firms and companies in the United States, we recognized throughout our careers that one of the challenges with the litigation process is navigating the various rules sources, and their updates. The available resources were oriented towards the rules sources, not users’ problems. SmartRules™ turns that on its head – it is focused on your task, not the rules source.

Who Creates SmartRules™ ?

SmartRules™ was created by experienced litigators at some of the largest and most prestigious firms in the country, including lawyers formerly at Gibson Dunn: O’Melveny & Myers; Orrick; Latham & Watkins; McDermott, Will & Emery; Seyfarth Shaw; and Kelley Drye, among others. We made tracking and understanding court rules and litigation document preparation our first priority, so that you can focus on solving your clients’ problems. Management team bios can be viewed at www.realpractice.com.

SmartRules™ has been adopted and used by many of the largest and most prestigious firms in the country. It is also used by solo practitioners, paralegals, legal assistants and secretaries and docket personnel nationwide. We are proud to be the profession’s choice for court rules and the litigation document process.
