What is Parliamentary Procedure?

Parliamentary law is:

• Rules of the game of democracy.

• Rules that govern procedures by which civil and criminal laws are made and adopted.

• Rules and customs that govern deliberative and decision-making assemblies and organizations.

These rules relate to the orderly transaction of business in meetings and to the duties of officers in facilitating the conduct of business. Written rules of order help ensure that the organization functions smoothly and that questions about procedure can be resolved quickly and fairly. An organization's rules of order may include bylaws, standing rules, policy manuals, and other rules

The parliamentary procedure establishes the purpose and structure of organizations; defines membership classifications, rights, and obligations; and defines rules and procedures for conducting business.

Principles Parliamentary law is based upon

• the will of the majority;

• the right of the minority to be heard;

• protection of the rights of absentees;

• courtesy and justice for all; and

• consideration of one subject at a time.
