Text of an Indiana county’s local court rules (circuit/superior court rules, district governance plan, city-court rules). Given a county (e.g. “Johnson”), returns the county’s documents and the rule text: pass query for a keyword search across the county’s rules (“motion practice”, “bond”, “court reporter”), rule for one citation as the county numbers it (“LR41-TR-102”), or neither to read the document from the start (paginate with offset).

Parameters

`query`	string	no	Keywords to find in the county’s local rules, e.g. “motion for continuance”. Returns the best-matching passages.
`rule`	string	no	A rule citation as the county numbers it, e.g. “LR41-TR-102”. Returns that rule’s text.
`document`	number	no	1-based document number from the documents list, to restrict to one document.
