Rule register & sources
Every rule the app applies, the citation counsel would write, the official government source, and the date a human last checked it. Last full review: 2026-08-18.
Scope
Rule packs are loaded for all 50 states and the District of Columbia. 27 of 51 publish a fixed day-count speedy trial window; in the rest the app refuses to compute a deadline and gives counsel a constitutional worksheet instead. This register makes every rule traceable and dated — it does not confirm that a cite is current law. A licensed attorney must sign off before anything is filed or advised.
