standing order

A forward-looking order that applies to all cases pending before a court.

• Some individual judges issue a standing order on a subject when there is no local rule bearing on it, often because a rule would not be acceptable to other judges on the court. Standing orders are frequently criticized because they undermine uniformity of procedural rules, esp. at the local level. Cf. standing rule under RULE(3).
