Rule 11.10 Title and Citation

Here's a plain English summary:

This rule simply gives the rules their official name and tells people how to reference them in legal documents. The full name is "North Dakota Rules of Court," but anyone writing a court filing or legal document can use the shorthand "N.D.R.Ct." instead.

Think of this like a nickname. Instead of writing out the whole title every time, lawyers and court staff can just use the short version. This keeps legal paperwork cleaner and saves space when someone needs to point to these rules in a brief, motion, or other court document.

This rule does not affect your rights or how your case works. It is just a naming convention that helps keep court references consistent across the state.
