Court Rules

Page & Word Limits

3540 rules across 119 courts

Courts and judges set page and word limits that often differ from statewide, federal, or local rule defaults. A motion may be limited to 25 pages in one courtroom and 15 pages in another court or division. Some rules measure by word count instead of page count, and several apply different limits depending on the filing type or party status. Missing a page limit is one of the most common reasons filings are rejected or returned for correction. Limits that are not about length, such as minutes of argument, the number of motions, or days before trial, are listed separately under other limits.
