This tutorial will show you how you can align text with the numbers in a pleading that uses pleading paper. I will, if you want, produce such a template for you with 26 numbers in the Courier New font on the left side of the page.Type your name, address, and phone number in the top left corner of the pleading paper. Use single-spaced lines. Before the case, filing a court document that contains your defense or claim is a must. Here are the pleading papers that you can download. You can also have exactly 26 lines on the page if you set the margins and line spacing correctly. Many courts require 28line pleading paper, so everyone knows line 26 is near the bottom of the page. Currently, each template is available formatted with 25, 26 or 28 numbered lines. • There should be no more than 28 lines per page.
