New York Local Rules Engine
Stop calling the Part Clerk's office. Query 370+ Supreme Court justices' individual part rules across all 13 judicial districts — including the Commercial Division. With cited sources and links to original documents.
The problem
New York's Individual Assignment System means your case lives with one judge from filing to disposition. Every Supreme Court justice has their own part rules governing motion practice, discovery, conferences, and trial preparation. Get them wrong and you're already behind.
Neither Westlaw nor LexisNexis includes individual judge part rules. They're scattered across 13 judicial district websites in inconsistent PDF formats, with no single index, no search, and no way to compare across judges.
How it works
Enter a judge's name, part number, county, or topic. The engine searches across all rule layers — Uniform Rules, Commercial Division rules, administrative orders, and individual judge part rules.
Claude reads the results and produces a structured memo with every applicable rule, organized by hierarchy. No more reading entire PDFs to find the one paragraph that matters.
Every answer includes provision citations and hyperlinks to the original source PDFs. Verify anything in seconds. Share with colleagues.
Need to know how motion practice differs between two judges? Ask. The engine compares provisions side-by-side — something no other product can do.
Coverage
Manhattan (1st JD), Brooklyn (2nd JD), Queens (11th JD), Bronx (12th JD), Staten Island (13th JD) — complete Supreme Court civil branch coverage.
Westchester, Nassau, Suffolk, Albany, Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and every other judicial district with published part rules.
All 28 Commercial Division justices across 10 jurisdictions. Detailed practice rules for the nation's premier business court.
Every part rule broken into individual provisions, tagged by topic, cross-referenced to CPLR and Uniform Rules. Full-text search across the entire corpus.
What you get
Every answer traces back to a specific provision from a specific judge. Here's what a typical result looks like.
Commercial Division, Part 45 (Hon. Anar Rathod Patel) — Pre-Motion Conference
Pursuant to Commercial Division Rule 24, any party seeking to make a motion must file a written letter request for a pre-motion conference on notice to all parties and upload to NYSCEF. The letter may not exceed two (2) pages.

FAQ
All 13 judicial districts' Supreme Court (Civil Branch), including all 10 Commercial Division jurisdictions. We cover every judge who has published part rules on nycourts.gov — approximately 370+ justices.
Westlaw and LexisNexis cover New York's statewide Uniform Rules (Parts 200-221), but they explicitly do not include individual judge part rules. Part rules are the layer that governs your day-to-day practice before a specific judge — motion requirements, conference procedures, discovery preferences. That's what we cover.
The database was built from nycourts.gov as of March 2026. Part rules update irregularly — some judges haven't updated in years, others update frequently. We re-scrape periodically and note the last-verified date for each document. For critical matters, we recommend confirming with the Part Clerk.

Yes. Ask Claude to compare any topic across any set of judges. For example: "Compare motion practice requirements across the 9 Manhattan Commercial Division justices." The structured database makes cross-judge comparison possible for the first time.
