(A) Generally. An unreported opinion of the Supreme Court or the Appellate Court may not be cited as precedent within the rule of stare decisis or, except as provided in subsection (a)(2)(B) of this Rule, as persuasive authority. An unreported opinion of either Court may be cited only (i) when relevant under the doctrine of the law of the case, res judicata, or collateral estoppel, (ii) in a criminal action or related proceeding involving the same defendant, (iii) in a disciplinary action involving the same respondent, or (iv) as persuasive authority as provided in subsection (a)(2)(B) of this Rule.

(B) Persuasive Authority. Unless designated as a per curiam opinion, an unreported opinion issued on or after July 1, 2023 may be cited for its persuasive value only if no reported authority adequately addresses an issue before the court. The citation shall clearly identify the opinion as unreported and include the case number, term, and date the opinion was filed. An unreported per curiam opinion may not be cited as persuasive authority.
