Caption Page Template

Description

The Caption Page Template is a blank template from Lawtopolis. A first-page layout with labeled placeholders: filer information, court name, party names, case number, document title and hearing information.

What is in the caption page template

Your download includes these files:

• Caption Page (DOCX)

Each file is editable, so you can type your own information straight into it. In addition, every template is general and is not tied to any one court.

How to use the caption page template

Replace each bracketed placeholder with your own information exactly as it appears on your case. Delete any block your court does not use.

First, read your court’s rules so you know what the finished document must contain. Next, fill in your own information. Then compare the result with the rules one more time before you file or serve anything.

Check your court’s rules first

Courts set their own formatting and filing rules. For example, they may set margins, font size, line spacing and page limits. Also, many courts publish their own mandatory forms, and you must use those where they exist. Federal rules are available from the federal judiciary. For state courts, start with our state procedures guide.
