W.R.C.P. 10
Form of Pleadings
(a) Caption; Names of Parties. — Every pleading must have a caption with
the court’s name, a title, a file number, and a Rule 7(a) designation. The title
of the complaint must name all the parties; the title of other pleadings, after
naming the first party on each side, may refer generally to other parties.
(b) Paragraphs; Separate Statements. — A party must state its claims or
defenses in numbered paragraphs, each limited as far as practicable to a single
set of circumstances. A later pleading may refer by number to a paragraph in
an earlier pleading. If doing so would promote clarity, each claim founded on a
separate transaction or occurrence — and each defense other than a denial —
must be stated in a separate count or defense.
(c) Adoption by Reference; Exhibits. — A statement in a pleading may be
adopted by reference elsewhere in the same pleading or in any other pleading
or motion. A copy of a written instrument that is an exhibit to a pleading is a
part of the pleading for all purposes.
(d) All filed documents shall be on 81⁄2 by 11 inch white paper, single-sided,
unless (1) the original of the document or written instrument is another size
paper and/or double-sided and (2) the law requires the original document or
written instrument be filed with the Court, as in the case of wills or other
documents.

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.
