Sets are groups of court forms, form templates, and/or Word templates you draft together that you want to use again for future clients and cases. Sets are not tied to any client or matter. They are specific to practice areas and types of cases. With Sets, you can group together forms and templates you and your team draft across multiple client matters.
Important: The sets mentioned in this article are groups of court forms, form templates, and/or Word templates not specific to any client or matter. These sets are not the same as the items in the Documents sets tab. The items in the Documents sets tab are projects generated with more than one form or template and contain information specific to a particular client. Learn more about drafting individual documents and document sets here.
Tip: Clio Draft also offers individual court form templates that you can pre-fill with data that is consistent across multiple client matters, saving you time when preparing individual court forms and sets. Learn more about court form templates here.
Create template and form sets
You can create sets right from your Clio Draft Library. You can add up to 20 court forms, form templates, and/or Word templates in a single set. Once you create a set, you can then draft and prepare the forms and templates in that set with specific client and matter data. Learn more about drafting and preparing documents here.
