What should I do if a court rejects my document?
First, obtain the written rejection notice or ask the clerk to specify the reason in writing. Courts reject documents for many reasons — some relate to the document itself, others relate to filing procedure (missing cover sheet, unpaid fee, wrong division). Review the reason against the step-by-step filing instructions included in your packet. If the rejection stems from a defect in our template or instructions rather than a filer error, email support@jurist-diction.com with the rejection notice attached. We will review it and provide a corrected document at no charge if the defect is ours. If you believe a refund is warranted, see our Refund Policy.
