The Search allows you to use one word or
a combination of words. Do not use connectors. Do not use quotes. Terms
found are highlighted in green. If you do not know the full name of what
you are looking for use the first 4 letters.
The most common error when using the search is
spelling errors resulting in no hits. |

U.S. Forms
State Forms |
Forms with US- at the beginning of the control number
are general forms for all states. Most are business forms.
However, some litigation forms are also placed into the US- category as
samples. Many attorneys use samples from other states for various
matters, especially Complaint forms. All special state forms have
the state abbreviation at the beginning of each form. i.e. AL-00101 for
Alabama.

| Select State |
The search feature allows you to limit the search be
limiting it to a particular state. It is recommended that you
search all forms first and then if a large list of hits is generated
limit the search.
|
|
|
| Select title, category or form number. We call
these "fields". |
You may also limit the search to form title, form
category or form number. The title search is the most popular. The
category search is very useful, however, because it provides a list of
all forms under the particular category. After selecting category you
may further limit the search if you receive a large result to category
AND state. You may also use the form number if you know it
to retrieve forms. This will become more useful in the near future
when a catalog of all forms will be available for downloading and use
off-line.

| See all forms under this category link |
Located at the bottom of
each category group of forms is a link entitled, "see all forms
under [category name] with [selection limitation]". This
link allows you to see a list of all forms under a particular category
and is especially useful to see all forms that may be applicable to a
particular matter. Again the
limit of state option is also available.
|
|
|
| Quick Search |
A quick search link is provided on the search results
page which shows the terms you searched within the limitation
parameters. This allows you to limit your search further by adding
words or to perform a new search at that location. You must, however,
return to the main search page to change the state or field to be
searched. |
