The Wirtz Labor Library has printed copies of West's Legal Forms
and American-Jurisprudence Legal Forms as well as access to forms on
Westlaw. In addition to these sources, there are many web sites where legal
forms may be obtained. Some of these are free. Others can be purchased for a
nominal fee. Regardless of where you find forms, make sure that they are valid
for your purpose.
- FindLaw Forms (http://forms.lp.findlaw.com/) - This site has a wealth of legal information that includes federal
and state court forms. Federal court forms are listed by number of the circuit
court. State court forms are arranged alphabetically by state. Findlaw also
points out that "local rules" govern the filing of certain forms in state
courts. Therefore, follow-up may be needed to ensure the validity of the form.
Forms are available in a PDF format. The site is easy to navigate and provides
tips on searching. Other information on the site includes state constitutions
and codes, case law, summaries of law, newsletters, and much more.
- 'Lectric Law Library Forms
(http://www.lectlaw.com/form.html) - This site claims to be the largest collection
of free legal forms on the Web. Forms are divided into two broad areas: law
practice and business and general. There is also a section on Premium Forms
that links to the commercial vendor U.S. Legal Forms, Inc. where forms can be
purchased. Law practice forms are subdivided into general practice and
litigation. Most of these forms are free, however, use diligence in checking
their accuracy, currency, and validity.
- USCourtForms (http://www.uscourtforms.com/) - This link takes you to a commercial site produced by American
LegalNet with over 60,000 Federal, State, Local County and Business forms.
Both free and fee-based subscriptions are available. The free forms are in
non-fillable PDF format.

forms must be purchased.

Uncle Sam-Forms from the Feds is another excellent site for forms from the
University of Memphis. This site is organized alphabetically by federal agency

and Firearms to the United States Courts bankruptcy forms.

legal practice.
