Rule 84 Forms

Mississippi's civil court rules come with a set of sample forms in an appendix. These forms are considered good enough to meet the legal requirements under the rules, so if you use one, you're following the rules correctly.

The point of these forms is to show that court papers don't need to be long or complicated. Filing a lawsuit or responding to one doesn't require fancy legal language or lengthy documents. A short, clear statement can work just as well as a long one, as long as it covers what needs to be said.

If you're filing something with the court, you can look at these sample forms as a guide for how simple your paperwork can actually be.
