Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure

The Colorado Rules of Civil Procedure are the formal rules that govern how civil cases—disputes between individuals or organizations—are handled in Colorado courts. They set standards for filing lawsuits, serving legal documents, exchanging evidence, conducting trials, and making legal arguments. These rules ensure the legal process is fair, efficient, and consistent, allowing parties to present their cases properly and the courts to manage cases effectively. They apply to all phases of civil litigation, guiding the procedures that help resolve disputes according to the law.
