Write documents or complete forms.
If you are going to complete your legal task for yourself, or if you are representing yourself in court (pro se), you will need to file the appropriate forms and/or documents (applications, motions, pleadings, instruments, witness lists, etc).
To understand what documents to prepare, and how to file or submit your document(s) correctly, look to the Vermont Court Rules. The court rules cover the procedure for each type of legal matter, such as criminal cases, family law, small claims court, appeals process, and much more.
