Why SmartRules™ ?

Court rules compliance is complicated. There are numerous rules sources, codes, standing orders, local rules, etc. -- and their updates – that you need to be aware of.
Traditional resources are focused on rules sources – the Evidence Code in one book, Code of Civil Procedure in another, Local Rules in the next. To ensure compliance, you need to search all sources to find what affects you.

SmartRules™ is focused on your task.

You tell SmartRules™ what you’re doing (e.g., filing a Motion to Dismiss in the Northern District of Illinois), and SmartRules™ brings the relevant rules from all sources. Updated every day. Complete, correct, convenient - all in one easy step.
