Forms

Some of the forms on this site are set up so that you can fill in the blanks on your computer, instead of using a typewriter or pen. In order to complete the PDF forms on-line, you must have Adobe Reader or the full Adobe Acrobat software. (Viewers may not be sufficient because some of the Court’s forms contain special scripting.) For more information on Adobe Acrobat, read about PDF Documents.

Hints for Completing Forms On-Line

1. Make sure that the information entered in each field appears when the form is printed.
2. After typing information in a field, either Tab to the next field, click outside the field or in the next space with the mouse, or press 'Enter' if it’s a one-line field.
3. To place an "X" in one of the check boxes, point and click in the space with your mouse.
4. Print the form for filing or attached it to Electronic Case Filing (ECF) event.
5. Save the form to your computer to retain the content of any field or to make future changes. The complete Adobe Acrobat is required to save the PDF document.

WordPerfect Forms

Some forms are available in WordPerfect format and can be completed on a computer. Open or download the document to your computer, complete it in WordPerfect, and print it out for filing. Follow the Hints for On-Line Forms, with the exception of the check boxes. In WordPerfect, you must actually type an "X".

To Print Double-Sided Forms

Try one of the following methods to print a double-sided form:

When sending the document to your printer, instead of printing the entire document, either enter the page number or select the current page. Print the first page and then manually feed the paper to print the second page on the back of the same sheet.

Print both pages separately and then use a photocopier to copy the single-sided originals onto one double-sided sheet.
