Municipal Court Rules of Procedure Committee

The Colorado Supreme Court has now created a Municipal Court Rules of Procedure Committee.

The  Municipal Court Rules of Procedure Committee is a standing committee appointed by the Colorado Supreme Court. The membership is comprised of judges, prosecutors, administrators, defense attorneys, and other attorneys who work with the Colorado Municipal Courts. The Committee of the whole meets approximately four times per year. There may be the creation of subcommittees that meet to discuss changes to a particular rule or to discuss changes around a specific topic.

The Committee makes suggestions to the Supreme Court for changes to the Colorado Municipal Court Rules of Procedure. These rules govern the procedure in all of the Colorado Municipal Courts.

The Committee is chaired by Judge Robert (Bob) J. Frick of the City of Longmont Municipal Court and the Supreme Court Liaison to the Committee is Justice Carlos Samour.
