Rule 60 Title and Citation

This rule simply gives the official name for this set of rules and explains how to refer to them in writing. The full name is "North Dakota Rules of Criminal Procedure," but when someone needs to cite them in a legal document or court filing, they can use the short version: "N.D.R.Crim.P."

Think of this like a nickname or abbreviation. If you're reading a legal brief or court document and see "N.D.R.Crim.P." followed by a number, you'll know that refers to a specific rule within this set of criminal procedure rules for North Dakota. This naming rule doesn't affect anyone's rights or how a case is handled. It just sets up the labeling system so that lawyers, judges, and others can reference these rules consistently.
