Local Forms and Policies


Some states have hundreds or even thousands of court forms available for the public, but South Dakota's selection is much smaller. Small claims forms are very simple and are available at any clerk of court office.  Other forms that the court system has available can be found at http://ujs.sd.gov and then click on the tab labeled “Forms.”  A complete package of statewide divorce or custody forms is not yet available, although a committee is working on it.
 

The Fifth Judicial Circuit has some local forms and policies that only pertain to our circuit.  If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click the section of the Local Forms or Local Policies that appear on the left navigation to view.  You must have Adobe Acrobat Reader installed to view the recent rules.  If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, click here to download it.
