redtape
Forms and routines followed in official business. The panoply of bureaucracy. "Redtape is order carried to fastidious excess--system run out into trivial extremes; but while no department of practical life should be subject to that infliction, there is scarcely anything in which a due degree of order can be neglected without grave dangers." Webster v Thompson, 55 Ga 432, 434.

Ballentine's law dictionary. . 1998.
