PRACTICE BOOK

A practice book is a type of legal reference book that contains the procedures and rules for a specific court or category of courts. It typically includes court rules, forms, and practice directions.

• A practice book for the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
• A practice book for the Family Court of the State of New York

These examples illustrate how a practice book is specific to a particular court or category of courts. Each practice book contains the rules and procedures that are unique to that court, making it a valuable resource for lawyers and judges who practice in that jurisdiction.
