The Washington JS-44 Civil Cover Sheet is a form used by courts in the state of Washington to provide information about a civil case. It is used to initiate a civil action, track a case's progress, and determine the type of civil proceedings. The Washington JS-44 Civil Cover Sheet is a part of the court's initial filing documents and must be filed with the court in order to initiate a civil action. There are two types of Washington JS-44 Civil Cover Sheet: the JS-44 Form and the JS-44A Form. The JS-44 Form is used to initiate a civil action. It requires information such as the case’s title, the parties’ names, contact information, the court location and the nature of the action. The JS-44A Form, on the other hand, is used to track the progress of a civil action. It requires less information than the JS-44, but still provides important information such as the case’s title, case number and the court location.
