R.I. Traffic Trib. R. P. 2
Purpose and Construction
These rules are intended to provide for the
just determination of every civil traffic violation proceeding and other violations
assigned to the court for adjudication pursuant to state law. They shall be construed
to secure simplicity in procedure, fairness in administration, and the elimination of
unjustifiable expense and delay; they shall also be construed consistent with the fact
that they constitute the rules for the adjudication of civil, not criminal, violations of
the motor vehicle code and other statutes within the court's jurisdiction, hereinafter
referred to as the “law.”

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
