Full Text of Rule 84
Amendment History
Added February 2, 2017, effective March 1, 2017.
Plain-English Summary
Some procedural rulebooks include an appendix of sample forms for common filings — complaints, summonses, and the like. Wyoming's civil procedure rules do not. Rule 84 says so directly: no forms are provided with the rules, so nothing in the rulebook itself supplies a template a party can copy and fill in.
That means parties and lawyers preparing pleadings or other documents need to look elsewhere — court websites, local practice guides, or their own drafting — to find or build the paperwork a case requires. The absence of official forms does not lower the bar for what a filing must contain; it just means the rules themselves are not the place to find a fill-in-the-blank template.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Wyoming provide official civil procedure forms like some other jurisdictions do?
No. Rule 84 confirms that no forms are provided with the Wyoming Rules of Civil Procedure.
Where can I find a template for a complaint or motion if the rules don't supply one?
Parties typically look to court clerk resources, published practice guides, or an attorney's own drafting rather than to the rules themselves, since Rule 84 confirms no official forms exist there.
Does the lack of official forms change what a pleading must contain?
No. The substantive requirements for pleadings and other filings still come from the rules that govern them; Rule 84 only addresses the absence of sample templates, not the content standards themselves.
Did Wyoming ever have official forms and remove them?
Rule 84 states the current position — no forms are provided. It does not describe forms being withdrawn; it confirms that the rules were adopted without an accompanying forms appendix.
Is Rule 84 unique to Wyoming?
Rule 84 addresses Wyoming's own rules. Other jurisdictions make their own choices about whether to publish official forms alongside their procedural rules.
