Court Rules

Court rules are written and promulgated by the Minnesota Supreme Court. The official version of these rules is in a print volume accompanying the Minnesota Statutes, published by the Minnesota Office of the Revisor. Other editions, some with additional annotations or commentary, are available in print or online through the links listed below. 

The online versions listed below will all include the same rules, but formatting will differ between each publication. The Minnesota Judicial Branch publication also includes appendixes of forms.

Court Rules in Minnesota are published in a variety of different ways. The titles below will all include the same rules, but formatting and additional content such as annotations will differ between each publication. 

In our positions as librarians, not lawyers, we can suggest resources but cannot give legal advice (such as which form to file) or legal opinions (such as how a statute might apply to particular facts). To do so could be considered the unauthorized practice of law. Even though we try to suggest materials that will be of help, more research is often required to find a complete and correct answer. For many questions, the best answer may be to consult an attorney.
