Description
The Florida Bar has petitioned this Court for approval of forms which can be used personally by litigants or by members of
The Florida Bar. The petition and the proposed forms are in response to this Court's request that such forms be promulgated
in order to provide better access to the courts. It is not intended that they be, and the forms do not provide, a means for
nonlawyers to practice law or to give legal advice. Persons not admitted to membership in The Florida Bar are prohibited and
enjoined from giving legal advice and may perform only the functions set out in rule 10-1.1(b), Rules Regulating the Florida
Bar, and as expressed in The Florida Bar re Amendment to Rules Regulating The Florida Bar (Chapter 10), 510 So.2d 596 (Fla.
1987). This prohibition, however, is not intended to affect clerks of court in the performance of their duties pursuant to
statute of court rule. In addition to the forms, The Florida Bar has prepared instructions for their use. Because local procedures vary from circuit
to circuit, the chief judge of each circuit is authorized to prepare supplemental directions for using the forms. All such
supplemental directions shall be filed with the clerk of court in the respective circuits and with the clerk of this Court.
