Indiana Rules of Court

The Indiana Supreme Court is authorized by the state constitution to make rules governing court proceedings and processes. The rules published here are current as of January 1, 2025. Historical versions of some rules are available dating back to various years.

Most proposed rule changes are reviewed by the Committee on Rules of Practice and Procedure. From time to time, the public is invited to comment on proposed rule changes, and when the Supreme Court approves changes, it issues orders amending the rules of court.
