Colo. R. Civ. P. 383

As amended through Rule Change 2024(9), effective May 2, 2024
Rule 383 - Rules by Trial Courts

All county court local rules, including local county court procedures and standing orders having the effect of county court local rules, enacted before February 1, 1992, are hereby repealed. Each county court, by a majority of its judges, may from time to time propose county court local rules and amendments of the county court local rules. A proposed local rule or amendment shall not be inconsistent with the Colorado Rules of County Court Civil Procedure or with any directive of the Supreme Court regarding the conduct of formal judicial proceedings in county courts. A proposed local rule or amendment shall not be effective until it is approved by the Supreme Court. To obtain approval, three copies of any proposed local rule or amendment shall be submitted to the Supreme Court through the office of the State Court Administrator. Reasonable uniformity of county court local rules is required. Numbering and format of any county court local rule shall be as prescribed by the Supreme Court. Numbering and format requirements are on file at the office of the State Court Administrator. The Supreme Court's approval of a county court local rule or local procedure shall not preclude review of that rule or procedure under the law or circumstances of a particular case. Nothing in this rule is intended to affect the authority of a county court to adopt internal administrative procedures not relating to the conduct of formal judicial proceedings as prescribed by the Colorado Rules of County Court Civil Procedure.
