T/F Tuesday Answer: TRUE! If by the plain reading of a court rule, it seems to apply to your case, you can’t just take a court staff member’s word for it that it doesn’t apply in your case. Ask them to explain where in the court rules or laws it says that rule doesn’t apply to your case. See written confirmation before relying on it. The last thing you want to do is lose your case because of a procedural misstep.
