Official CM-010 from Judicial Council of California
Form CM-010 is the Civil Case Cover Sheet required by the Judicial Council of California. The plaintiff files it together with the first paper in a civil action — typically the complaint — so the court can classify the case and compile filing statistics. It records the case type, whether the case is limited or unlimited (the $35,000 threshold), the remedies sought, and whether the case is complex or a class action. With JustFill you upload the blank CM-010 PDF, the AI auto-detects every field, you fill it in your browser, and you download the completed form free.
Filing a civil case in California? Form CM-010 is the cover sheet that must accompany your first paper. JustFill turns the official Judicial Council PDF into a fillable form in your browser, so you can complete it without printing or handwriting. The sheet captures who is filing (attorney or self-represented party, with State Bar number where applicable), which Superior Court and county the case belongs to, the case name, and then six numbered items: the case type chosen from a coded list, whether the case is complex under rule 3.400, the remedies sought, the number of causes of action, whether it is a class action, and any known related cases. It is a mandatory form under California Rules of Court, rules 2.30, 3.220 and 3.400–3.403.
What each section of CM-010 asks for. JustFill’s AI will detect these fields automatically when you upload the PDF — review the breakdown below so you know what to enter.
Name of the attorney or party without an attorney, State Bar number, firm name, street address, city, state, ZIP, telephone, fax, email, and who the attorney acts for.
The Superior Court of California county, its street and mailing address, city and ZIP, branch name, and the case name. The case number, judge and department are completed by the court.
Unlimited when the amount demanded exceeds $35,000; limited when it is $35,000 or less. There is also a complex case designation with counter and joinder boxes.
Exactly one box from the coded list: auto tort, asbestos, product liability, medical malpractice, employment, breach of contract, rule 3.740 collections, insurance coverage, eminent domain, unlawful detainer, judicial review and others, each with its own number.
Whether the case is complex under rule 3.400 and, if so, which factors apply: many separately represented parties, extensive motion practice, substantial documentary evidence, many witnesses, coordination with related actions elsewhere, or substantial postjudgment supervision.
Remedies sought (monetary, nonmonetary or declaratory/injunctive relief, punitive), the number of causes of action, whether the case is a class action, and any known related cases — which are noticed separately on form CM-015.
The date, the typed or printed name, and the signature of the party or the attorney for the party.
