Forms Development Process

Form update projects come from statutory changes and suggestions from Judicial Staff and the public.  While the process can vary from project to project, in general:

 

Phase 1 - Drafting & Submission

  • Complete JDF 1 - Forms Change Request.
  • Make the changes you're suggesting in the Word (docx) version of the form with the tracked changes feature (changes appear in red).
  • Also, in the Word file, add a comment stating the reason for the change.  Cite to statute, rule, CJD, or BBP.
  • Submit the completed JDF 1 and the Word files by email to Forms@judicial.state.co.us.

 

Phase 2 - Drafting and Review

  • JDF Projects are triaged and reviewed by one of the JDF Subject Matter Expert Workgroups.  Standing workgroups include:
    • Civil
    • Criminal & Delinquency
    • Family: Domestic & Juvenile
    • Housing
  • Probate Forms are passed on to the Probate Rules Committee.
  • Probation Forms are passed on to the Division of Probation Services at SCAO.

 

Phase 3 - Editing

  • Content is edited for formatting and legal accuracy.

 

Phase 4 - Approval

  • Changes are submitted to the Colorado Supreme Court for final review and approval.

 

Phase 5 - Remediation, Publication, & Translation

  • Form fields are added.
  • The form is coded to meet accessibility requirements.
  • The form is published.
  • The form is submitted for translation (as needed).

Tips for successful form searching

  • When searching a known form number, place a space in between the JDF and the number(s), or just the numbers.
    Example:  for form JDF1220
    Enter in the Keyword field:  "JDF 1220";   or   "1220"
  • If any of these forms are updated, the form links may change.
