Compare this sheet with the current Utah Courts form before filing. Use the separate court cover sheet for probate or domestic-relations matters. A jury demand also must comply with Rule 38's fee, service, and filing requirements.

These are the filings that drive a lawsuit through the system: complaints, answers, motions, briefs, discovery requests and responses, and post-judgment papers. Each has its own format requirements under federal and state procedural rules, and each has a deadline that cannot be missed without consequences. Clean, procedurally correct filings move a case forward; sloppy ones invite motions to strike, amended responses, and avoidable delays.
