IN RE: CIVIL COVER SHEET

ORDER

I. Introduction

Under Administrative Order 2019-17, use of a cover sheet for all district

and circuit court civil case filings became mandatory on January 1, 2021.

II. Purpose

The purpose of the civil cover sheet is to ensure proper identification of

civil case types and support uniform collection of data across the

Commonwealth. Data standards will improve court statistics and allow the

Kentucky Court of Justice to better manage current programs and future

initiatives.

III. Implementation

Cases that are filed conventionally (i.e., in paper format) must be

accompanied by a civil cover sheet. For cases that are filed electronically, the

Kentucky Court of Justice eFiling system will automatically collect the

necessary information from the filing party. Accordingly, a separate civil cover

sheet is not required.

Entered this 21st day of January 2021.

Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
