Appendix of Forms
APPENDIX OF FORMS
(See Rule 84)
Introductory Statement
1. The following forms are sufficient under these rules. They are limited in number. No attempt is made to furnish a manual of forms. Each form assumes the action to be brought in the First Circuit. The caption should state the circuit in which the action is brought.
2. Except where otherwise indicated each pleading, motion, and other paper should have a caption similar to that of the summons, with the designation of the particular paper substituted for the word "Summons." In the caption of the summons and in the caption of the complaint all parties must be named but in other pleadings and papers, it is sufficient to state the name of the first party on either side, with an appropriate indication of other parties. See Rules 4(b), 7(b)(2), and 10(a).
3. Each pleading, motion, and other paper is to be signed in the individual name of at least one attorney of record (Rule 11). The attorney's name is to be followed by the attorney’s address.
4. If a party is not represented by an attorney, the signature and address of the party are required in place of those of the attorney.
5. Rule 3 of the Rules of the Circuit Courts prescribes additional requirements.
