Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 84
The forms in the Appendix of Forms suffice under these rules and illustrate the simplicity and brevity that these rules contemplate. Any form contained within the Appendix of Forms or referred to in any court rule governing proceedings in any branch of the Civil Division of the Superior Court may be modified in the discretion of the Chief Judge, the Clerk of the Court, or a designee of either.
Sup. Ct. R. D.C. 84
COMMENT TO 2024 AMENDMENTS
This rule has been amended to clarify that any form used in the Civil Division may be modified in the discretion of the Chief Judge, the Clerk of the Court, or a designee of either.
COMMENT TO 2017 AMENDMENTS
In 2015, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 84 was abrogated because there were other sources for forms-including court websites and law libraries. Any necessary forms were directly incorporated into the relevant rule (for example, former federal Forms 5 and 6 were incorporated into Federal Rule 4). This approach was rejected as inconsistent with the needs and processes of the Superior Court.
COMMENT
Identical to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 84
