California Judicial Council Forms are pre approved pleadings for filing with the Court.
The San Diego Superior Court now accepts e-Filing for Civil, Probate, Family Law and Family Support Division case types as well as Requests for Domestic Violence Restraining Orders and Gun Violence Restraining Orders.
The Judicial Council adopts legal forms in one of two ways. Under Government Code section 68511, the council may "prescribe" certain forms. Use of those forms is mandatory. The council may also "approve" forms.
A caption identifying the plaintiff and defendant, and the court in which the complaint is being filed. A brief description of the parties (e.g., their name and address). Allegations demonstrating that the court has subject matter jurisdiction, personal jurisdiction, and venue to adjudicate the claims in the complaint.
Fill out the Summons (form SUM-100) and a Complaint. Also, fill out a Civil Case Cover Sheet (form CM-010). Since you are the one filing a lawsuit, you're called the plaintiff. The person or company you're suing is the defendant.
The California Constitution directs the Judicial Council to provide policy guidelines to the courts, make recommendations annually to the Governor and Legislature, and adopt and revise California Rules of Court in the areas of court administration, practice, and procedure.
