Case Information Statement PDF Details

Navigating the complexities of initiating a lawsuit in the civil part of the Law Division necessitates a thorough understanding of various procedural requirements, one of which includes the submission of the Civil Case Information Statement (CIS). This form, mandated under Rule 4:5-1 for initial pleadings (excluding motions), serves as a foundational document that ensures the court is provided with essential case details right at the outset. The failure to complete the form properly, as specified under Rule 1:5-6(c), results in the rejection of the pleading for filing, underscoring the form's significance in the judicial process. It is designed for meticulous use by both the attorney (or individuals representing themselves, known as pro se litigants) and the clerk's office, requiring information ranging from basic identification details, such as the party names and attorney or pro se contact information, to specific case-related data including the type of case, demand for jury trial, and whether the case is linked with professional malpractice—necessitating an affidavit of merit in accordance with N.J.S.A. 2A:53A-27 and relevant case law. Additionally, the form inquires about related pending cases, potential additional parties, primary insurance details, and special case characteristics that could influence the need for mediation, individual case management, or accelerated disposition. It also considers the need for disability accommodations and interpreters, emphasizing the judiciary's commitment to accessibility. Equally important is the certification that confidential personal identifiers have been redacted, adhering to Rule 1:38-7(b), which protects sensitive information. With a broad array of categories to indicate the specific nature of the action—ranging from personal injury to complex commercial litigation, and even mass torts—the CIS effectively streamlines the initial case evaluation process, setting the stage for the efficient management of civil litigation in New Jersey's courts.
