Rule 82 Jurisdiction and venue unaffected

Here's a plain English summary of this rule:

This rule simply makes clear that the civil procedure rules are about how a case moves through court, not about which court gets to hear it. The rules don't change what kinds of cases a circuit court has the power to decide. They also don't change the rules about which specific court location is the right place to file a case.

In other words, these procedural rules deal with things like filing deadlines, how to serve papers, and how trials are conducted. They have nothing to do with a court's authority to hear a certain type of case or where a lawsuit should properly be filed. Those questions are answered by other laws, not by these procedural rules.
