Rule 1:1-3 Citation of Rules

This rule simply gives the official name for New Jersey's court rules and explains how to refer to them in writing. The full name is "N.J. Court Rules, 1969," and individual rules are shortened to something like "R. 1:1-3."

If you ever need to mention a specific court rule in a legal document, you would use that short format. This keeps things consistent across all courts and documents in New Jersey.
