Every trial lawyer needs quick access to rules of evidence and rules of court.
Even in the age of the Internet those yearly pamphlets are still necessary references for most jurisdictions but a survey of the World Wide Web shows that much valuable information is readily available for the litigator in a hurry. Some of these have the courts' local rules in a format researchers can download. As with all information on the Web it is necessary to check the date to make sure that you have the most recent version. Some of these include local rules for the district and bankruptcy courts. Not all of the state rules of court found on the web sites are complete and up to date.
