IV. Quick Commentary

  • Bad News: You probably won't need to submit a corporate disclosure statement in your civil case:
    • Reason #1: It seems inapplicable to you, because you aren't a corporation (and Rule 7.1 seems to be geared solely towards corporations)
    • Reason #2: TBD has never seen a pro se litigant file a Corporate Disclosure statement (sample size = 60,000+ federal court records)
  • Good News: It only takes 10-30 minutes to complete
  • Better News: It'll take you even less time if you use TBD's free template! (see Part III - above)
  • Please download as many sample documents as you'd like
  • Proofread your document as much as possible.
  • Save the final version as a PDF file.
  • Email the PDF to the other party (read about Serving Court Documents here).
  • File the document with your federal court.

V. Additional Notes

  • The 'Corporate Disclosures' is a very simple file (no need for legal citations, etc.)
  • Total Time needed ≈ 0-1 hours

VI. Conclusion

The 'Corporate Disclosures' document might be required in Federal Court cases of discrimination. The Court will let you know if you need to supply one; and they will set the deadline. Luckily, the document itself is very simple.

POINTS & THINGS

Congratulations! You're now booked up on how to satisfy the 'Corporate Disclosures' requirement of your federal case!
