Case Information Statements

Case Information Statements
Every complaint must be accompanied by a completed and signed Case
Information Statement (CIS) and the appropriate filing fee. See R. 4:5 -1. The CIS must
be signed by an attorney admitted to practice in New Jersey or a pro se, provided that a
pro se appearance is permitted pursuant to the Rules of Court. A pro se cannot sign a
CIS on behalf of a corporation. Original signatures must appear on the CIS. CIS forms
may not contain stamped or facsimile signatures or anything other than an original. If
pleadings are filed along with a CIS not containing an original signature, these will be
returned to the sender stamped “received but not filed.” See R. 1:5- 6(c). The CIS is a
brief statement that identifies the case type and contains information about the case
including the degree of complexity and complementary dispute resolution eligibility, as
well as any special accommodations required for the timely resolution of the case. Rule
1:5-6(c) permits the court t o reject any complaint not signed or submitted with the
appropriate fee or the required completed CIS or on paper of standard weight and quality
in accordance with R. 1:4 -9. The CIS form appears as Appendix XII-B to the Rules of
Court and is also included as an appendix to this document.
