Rule 19-3 Case Initiation Questionnaire Processing

In accordance with BCR 3-14, the Clerk shall require an attorney filing an action in the Court to complete a case initiation questionnaire on the e-filing system. The Clerk shall enter the civil action number for the case on the case initiation questionnaire and the form shall become part of the file for the case. The Clerk shall use each cause of action indicated by the attorney completing the questionnaire to enter the cause of action upon the docket of the Court, unless it appears to the satisfaction of the Clerk by an inspection of the pleadings that a cause of action has been recorded in error by the attorney. If an erroneous cause of action has been recorded, the Clerk shall correct the case initiation questionnaire and enter each correct cause of action upon the docket of the Court.
