A rule or regulation is mentioned, and somebody pipes up that it's also known as "The (insert name) rule". For instance, let's say the scene is at a bar: Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Sorry, we don't let people prepare their own drinks. We had a couple of mishaps in the past with that, so management told us to stop it. We like to think of it as 'The Jack Jenkins Rule'". Occasionally, when mentioning it, the speaker will look at the character in question glaringly (if he or she is nearby). If the rule is sufficiently strange, this doubles as a Noodle Incident, and if it's sufficiently specific, it overlaps with Strange Minds Think Alike. Things merely named after the person who created or requested them don't count; it needs to be created in reaction to the person it's named after. |

The Honerverse's Eridani Edict, preventing the use of a Colony Drop without first giving the planet a chance to surrender, is named after the world of Epsilon Eridani, which was leveled by such an attack. | |

Vorloupulos's Law in the Vorkosigan Saga, forbidding private armies, was renamed such after Lord Vorloupulos hired a horde of ex-soldiers as "cooks" in an attempt to get around the law and had them carve up his enemies with butcher knives. | |

Preemptively done in The Weaver Option. When Taylor and Neferten sign a mutual assistance treaty, it has ten sections. Eight deal with the standard diplomatic, cultural, and military issues of such a treaty while the last two specifically cover how to handle Lelith and Trazyn respectively. | |

Inverted on Star Trek: Lower Decks: Ensign Biomler has a rule named after him that encourages "buffer time" between tasks so as not to overwhelm the ships crew. Being the suck up, by-the-book regulations lover he is, he's not too happy being associated with it. Heck, in the episode's Time Skip stinger, future cadets are told that it was named after him because he was the laziest, most corner-cutting crew member in the Federation's history. | |
