Georgia Pleading Paper Template

Georgia does not use numbered-line pleading paper. Court filings go on plain letter-size paper with a proper caption, formatted under the rules covered here. Georgia's statewide format rule for superior court filings is narrow. Under Uniform Superior Court Rule 36.1 (Preparation of Documents), materials presented for filing must be typed, legibly written, or printed on one side only, in blue or black ink suitable for reproduction, on opaque white paper measuring 8 1/2 by 11 inches, of good quality, grade, and weight. That is the core of what the statewide rule fixes: the ink, the single-sided printing, and the paper. Georgia is not a numbered-line pleading-paper state, so there are no consecutive line numbers down the left margin. Importantly, USCR 36.1 does not set a statewide margin width, font size, or line spacing, so those are governed by each local court's rules and by the e-filing standards, not by a single statewide number. A filing on the wrong paper, printed two-sided, or in non-reproducible ink can be rejected, which costs filing time and can risk a deadline. This page covers what USCR 36.1 actually requires and is plain about what it leaves to local court rule. DocDraft drafts your document in properly formatted Georgia court format from your facts, with attorney review available before you file.
