Rule Table-A Table A

Table A is basically a master list pointing to other parts of North Dakota law that cover special types of court cases. These are cases that don't follow the normal civil lawsuit process from start to finish. Instead, they have their own specific rules written into the state code because they deal with unique situations.

The list covers a wide range of legal matters. Some examples include adoption cases, child custody and welfare cases, contested elections, name changes, eminent domain (when the government takes private property), foreclosures, guardianships, habeas corpus (challenging unlawful detention), and property disputes like quiet title actions or partition of land.

If you're dealing with one of these specific situations, this table tells you where to look in the North Dakota Century Code to find the actual rules that apply to your case. The general civil procedure rules still matter, but these special statutes may add extra steps, deadlines, or requirements specific to that type of case. It's a helpful starting point to find the right law for your situation, but you'll need to go read the actual statute listed to understand the specific requirements.
