Users should ensure proper filling with accurate information regarding plaintiff and defendant identities, claims, and references to supporting documents like EEOC charges and Right to Sue letters.

Clarity in the filling instructions is essential for effective use, promoting a structured and well-organized presentation of allegations. The target audience should focus on building a strong case by gathering relevant documentation to substantiate their allegations, thereby enabling them to advocate effectively for their clients.
