Forms
The forms in the Appendix of Forms suffice under these rules and illustrate the
simplicity and brevity that these rules contemplate. Any form contained within the
Appendix of Forms or referred to in any court rule governing proceedings in any branch
of the Civil Division of the Superior Court may be modified in the discretion of the Chief
Judge, the Clerk of the Court, or a designee of either.
History
COMMENT TO 2024 AMENDMENTS This rule has been amended to clarify that any form used in the Civil Division may be modified in the discretion of the Chief Judge, the Clerk of the Court, or a designee of either. COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS In 2015, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 84 was abrogated because there were other sources for forms—including court websites and law libraries. Any necessary forms were directly incorporated into the relevant rule (for example, former federal Forms 5 and 6 were incorporated into Federal Rule 4). This approach was rejected as inconsistent with the needs and processes of the Superior Court. COMMENT Identical to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 84

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
