Form books, whether in print or electronic format, guide an attorney or self-represented individual in the creation of a multitude of legal documents. These documents include, among others, wills, powers of attorney, complaints, interrogatories, jury instructions, and contracts.
Rule 7 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure dictates which pleadings are allowed and the form of motions and other papers.
In Florida, pleadings and motions are covered in Rule 1.100 of the Florida Rules of Civil Procedure.
