What is Parliamentary Procedure?
Parliamentary procedure (sometimes called parliamentary law) is a set of rules or procedures that defines how a democratic organization works –how its members make decisions, how its leaders run organizations to meet the needs of its members, and the rights of members and non-members. The purpose of these rules is to expedite business, to maintain order, to ensure justice, to provide equal treatment for all members, and to help an organization to accomplish the purpose for which it was formed.
