Overview
How to use our legal templates
Our legal templates are blank documents you complete yourself. They contain layouts and placeholders, but never case facts or arguments.
Before you use one, read your court’s rules. Courts set their own requirements for margins, fonts, line spacing and page limits. Also, many courts publish mandatory forms of their own, and you must use those where they exist. For federal courts, start with the current federal court rules. For state courts, our state procedures guide links to each state’s official rules.
Next, download the file from your account and fill in your own information. Then check the finished document against the rules once more. Each template page lists the file formats, the revision date and what the template is for.
Finally, remember that legal templates are educational. They are not reviewed for your situation, and they are not legal advice.
Each template comes with a short guide on its product page. The guide explains what every part of the document is for, so you understand the structure before you fill it in.
Downloads stay in your account after purchase. As a result, you can download the file again whenever you need a fresh copy.
Lawtopolis provides legal information and education, not legal advice. Using this site does not create an attorney-client relationship. Laws and court rules vary by jurisdiction and change over time; verify every authority against the official source and consult a licensed attorney in your jurisdiction about your situation.
