Alaska R. Civ. P. 10
Form of Pleadings
(a) Caption—Names of Parties. Every pleading shall
contain a caption setting forth the title of the court, the judicial
district in which the action is filed, the city in which the court
is located, the title of the action (i.e., the names of the parties),
the case number, and a designation as in Rule 7(a). In the
complaint the title of the action shall include the names of all
the parties, but in other pleadings it is sufficient to state the
name of the first party on each side with appropriate indication
of other parties. When identifying parties in the complaint, the
plaintiff shall include as much of each party’s full legal name
as is known to the plaintiff.
(b) Paragraphs—Separate Statements. All averments
of claim or defense shall be made in numbered paragraphs, the
contents of each of which shall be limited as far as practicable
to a statement of a single set of circumstances; and a paragraph
may be referred to by number in all succeeding pleadings.
Each claim founded upon a separate transaction or occurrence
and each defense other than denials shall be stated in a separate
count or defense whenever a separation facilitates the clear
presentation of the matters set forth.
(c) Adoption by Reference—Exhibits. Statements in a
pleading may be adopted by reference in a different part of the
same pleading or in another pleading or in any motion. A copy
of any written instrument which is an exhibit to a pleading is a
part thereof for all purposes.
(d) Title of Pleading—Citation of Statute. A party
filing a complaint, counterclaim, or cross-claim seeking relief
under any specific statute is required to cite the statute relied
upon in parentheses following the title of the pleading or in the
heading for the section asserting the statutory claim.
(e) Conformity With Rule 76. All pleadings shall be
prepared and filed in conformity with the provisions of Rule 76
as well as this rule.
