The MC Law School has launched a website that provides quick and easy access to state and federal rules of court. Here is the site.
Here is the announcement:
MC Law has developed a new mobile app to assist with legal research. This app can be accessed on a mobile phone, an I-Pad/tablet, or a desktop/ laptop computer by clicking on this url: www.law.mc.edu/mlr (note—this is not from an app store like I-Tunes). The mobile app is configured for easy display and navigation on these devices. It can also be used on a desktop or laptop computer and accessed as a favorite site or from a desktop icon. This mobile app provides easy access to Federal Rules (Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Criminal Procedure, Evidence, and Bankruptcy Procedure); Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals opinions; and Uniform Local Civil Rules, Uniform Local Criminal Rules, and opinions for the Northern and Southern US District Courts of Mississippi. For Mississippi legal research the mobile app links to Rules of Court for Civil Procedure, Evidence, Appellate Procedure, and Professional Conduct as well as to the Mississippi Code of 1972, Supreme Court and Court of Appeals opinions, and all Mississippi Rules of Court. Also linked are the Mississippi Constitutions of 1817, 1832, 1868, and 1890 (with amendments from the Mississippi Secretary of State). The mobile app also links to the MC Law Library Online Catalog, the Legislative History Project (videos of floor debates from the 2012 and 2013 legislative sessions), and the Judicial Data Project (videos of oral arguments at the Mississippi Supreme Court and Court of Appeals, briefs filed, and statistical information). MC Law welcomes suggestions for adding to or improving the usefulness of this mobile app (MMiller@mc.edu). It is provided free of charge to the legal community and the general public in appreciation for the generous support the legal community provides to legal education in Mississippi.
This is a really nice resource that may eliminate the need to order a new set of rule books every year and carry them to court all the time.
