Other States

For states other than Tennessee, you can start by exploring what might be available on Lexis or Westlaw. On Lexis, Browse Sources By Jurisdiction  [your state] --> Category --> More --> Forms. On Westlaw: Forms  --> Forms by State --> [your state]. As always, when using Lexis and Westlaw, be mindful of your firm’s billing program and whether you can browse sources without incurring charges.

Other ways to find forms often start with the state’s law library websites. Try starting with the flagship university’s law school library. Be persistent – what you need may not jump out at you right away. For example, if you start at the University of Georgia’s law library website, you’ll eventually get what you need by clicking the “Research Resources” link. From there, the Research Guides tab will lead you to a “Forms” research guide that describes many different forms resources available that specifically pertain to Georgia.

And, as always, don’t hesitate to pick up the phone and call the reference desk at an academic law library. Just explain that you are seeking recommendations for legal forms for your particular jurisdiction as you are new to the state. Most librarians will be more than happy to help.
