C.R.C.P. 383 (County Court)

Rules by Trial Courts

activein force · 1992-02-01 – presentact-effective-date

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repealed.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.
