Locating Forms: General Forms

How to locate sample forms for common legal and business transactions.

Introduction

Formbooks contain sample forms for common legal and business transactions.  The Law Library provides access to many resources that include sample legal forms.

Remember: forms are often generic documents.  Before using a sample legal form, you should always carefully examine the document to make sure it suits your legal needs and is still up to date.

Although links to Westlaw and Lexis are provided, Westlaw and Lexis access is only available to faculty, staff and students of the University of Georgia School of Law.
