MI Litigator: Court Rules

About this app

Every Michigan and federal rule a litigator reaches for, in one offline app: 1,867 rules, jury instructions, and ethics provisions, verbatim and searchable in seconds — with or without a signal. ASK IN PLAIN ENGLISH Type the question the way you would ask a colleague — "how long do I have to respond to a motion for summary disposition?" — and the app answers with rules, not links. Two layers of search do the work, both running entirely on your device: • Best matches for your question. Apple Intelligence reads your question and translates it into the terminology the rules are actually written in. Requires Apple Intelligence on iOS 26 or later — iPhone 15 Pro or newer, or a capable iPad. • Related by meaning. A neural index built into the app ranks all 1,867 rules by meaning rather than keyword overlap. Works on every supported device. Your question never leaves your device. Neither does anything else — the app makes no network requests. WHAT'S INSIDE Michigan • Michigan Court Rules — 625 rules • Michigan Rules of Evidence — 65 rules • Michigan Model Civil Jury Instructions — 634 instructions • Michigan Rules of Professional Conduct — 61 rules Federal • Federal Rules of Civil Procedure — 112 rules • Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure — 77 rules • Federal Rules of Evidence — 69 rules • E.D. Mich. Local Rules — 93 rules • W.D. Mich. Local Rules — 131 rules FEATURES • In brief. Every one of the 1,867 provisions opens with a short plain-English summary written for this app; the official text follows, unaltered. • Key deadlines pulled to the top of 414 procedural rules. • Instant keyword search across all nine libraries, filtered by Michigan or federal and by civil or criminal. • More than 6,000 tappable cross-references between provisions — move from a Michigan rule to its federal analogue, or from a jury instruction to the rule behind it. • Deadline calculator. Enter a trigger date and a period; the app computes under MCR 1.108 or FRCP 6(a), excludes the trigger day, rolls weekends and legal holidays off the result — forward after an event, backward before one — and shows every step and the rule applied. • Browse every time period found in the rules, filtered by jurisdiction. • Outside citations listed under External references on each rule. • Save the provisions you return to; recently viewed is kept for you. • Light, dark, and automatic themes. Universal — iPhone and iPad. • Works completely offline. Text, search index, and models ship inside the app. FREE, AND PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION No account. No sign-in. No subscription, no in-app purchases, no ads. No analytics, no tracking, no third-party SDKs of any kind. The app never connects to the internet, so there is nothing to collect. Favorites and settings stay on your device. SOURCES AND ATTRIBUTION Rules and instructions are reproduced verbatim from the official public sources of the Michigan Supreme Court, the U.S. Courts, and the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern and Western Districts of Michigan. The Michigan Model Civil Jury Instructions are prepared by the Committee on Model Civil Jury Instructions appointed by the Michigan Supreme Court and published by the State of Michigan. Every library screen names its source inside the app. The "In brief" summaries and the extracted deadlines are written for this app and are not official text. This app is independent and is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by any court, the Committee, or the State of Michigan. NOT LEGAL ADVICE This app is a reference tool. It does not provide legal advice and creates no attorney-client relationship. Rules change: verify against the official current version before you rely on anything here. The deadline calculator is a planning aid — confirm every date against the governing rule and your court's holiday schedule. Requires iOS 16.4 or later. Questions or corrections: tom@tomcedoz.com

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
