Rule 53 [repealed]

This rule no longer exists. It was officially removed from the court system on March 23, 2022.

Before it was repealed, the rule had gone through some changes. It first became official in 2006, and it was updated again in 2021. But now it has no legal effect at all. If you're looking at older documents or cases that mention Rule 53, keep in mind that it doesn't apply to current cases anymore.

If you need to know what this rule used to say, or why it was removed, you may want to check with the North Dakota Supreme Court directly or look at other current rules that may have replaced it.
