What's New
We've introduced Pleading Paper Templates, which allows attorneys and legal staff to export drafted documents formatted to jurisdiction-specific court standards. This update is designed to help legal teams file court-ready documents without manual reformatting.
The Problem It Solves
Previously, attorneys drafting documents in Supio had to manually reformat their content to comply with jurisdiction-specific court requirements — adjusting line spacing, margins, line numbering, and other formatting rules — before filing. This was particularly burdensome in states like California, where pleading paper formatting is a strict requirement.
This made it difficult to maintain consistent formatting across documents and team members, often resulting in time-consuming reformatting steps, potential errors, and delays close to trial deadlines.
How to Get Started
To start using Pleading Paper Templates:
Draft or open an existing document in Supio (e.g., a demand letter).
Click the Export button on the document.
In the export dialog, select the pleading paper template for your jurisdiction.
Click Export — your document will be generated with all court-required formatting applied.
Templates can be created and managed by your team — add as many as needed for every jurisdiction where your firm practices.
How It Works
Pleading Paper Templates work by:
Storing pre-configured court formatting rules (spacing, margins, line numbers, font, etc.) as reusable templates in Supio.
Applying the selected template at export time, wrapping your drafted content in the correct layout automatically.
Allowing teams to create, name, and maintain multiple templates — one per jurisdiction or court — with no limit on the number of templates.
Note: Templates are applied non-destructively at export — your original document in Supio is never modified.
Why It Matters
With Pleading Paper Templates, legal teams can:
Eliminate manual reformatting before filing, saving hours of tedious preparation work.
Ensure consistent, court-compliant formatting across all attorneys and staff in the firm.
Scale across jurisdictions by maintaining a library of templates for every court where the firm practices.
Reduce filing risk by removing the chance of formatting errors that could result in rejected submissions.
Move faster to trial — documents go from drafted to filed without leaving Supio.
Who It's For
This feature is available to all Supio users who draft and export legal documents. It is particularly valuable for:
Attorneys and paralegals preparing documents for filing in jurisdictions with strict pleading paper requirements (e.g., California state courts).
Firms practicing across multiple jurisdictions who need consistent formatting standards without manual effort.
Requirements: Pleading paper templates must be created by your team in Supio before use at export. No special permissions or plan upgrades are required.
Availability & Rollout
Status: General Availability
Rollout: Immediate — available to all Supio customers today.
Notes: Templates are firm-specific and must be configured by your team. Supio does not ship pre-built court templates; your team creates and maintains them.
What's Coming Next
We're continuing to improve Pleading Paper Templates, with upcoming enhancements focused on a library of pre-built templates for common jurisdictions, bulk template management for large firms, and deeper integration with Supio's document generation workflows.
