A-13 2. 2.010—FORM OF DOCUMENTS Amended to remove the requirement to prepare pleadings, motions, and requested instructions with numbered lines. ACTION TAKEN No motion was made to change the committee’s preliminary recommendation of approval. Accordingly, by committee convention, the October 24, 2025, preliminary recommendation became the committee’s final recommendation of approval. EXPLANATION This proposal, submitted by Judge Matthew A. Rowan, Circuit Court Judge, Jackson County Circuit Court, amends UTCR 2.010(4) to remove the requirement that all pleadings, motions, and requested instructions be prepared with numbered lines. Prior to the fall 2025 meeting, the proponent provided the following written testimony: • The proposed changes eliminate the need for pleading paper.

A-14 • Numbered lines can assist with precise citations to pleadings. • Overall, the benefits of removing numbered lines—readability, accessibility, and efficiency—appear to outweigh the downsides. Based on its discussion of the foregoing considerations, the committee voted by consensus to recommend approval. Following the fall 2025 meeting, the committee received several public comments, summarized below: • Many commenters described the requirement as outdated, burdensome, and difficult to format, especially across platforms. They noted that federal and many state courts operate effectively without line numbering, and that page and paragraph citations are sufficient. • Several commenters emphasized that line numbering interferes with OCR and PDF‑to‑Word conversion, slows drafting, creates formatting errors, and poses unnecessary barriers for attorneys, staff, and self‑represented litigants. Removing the requirement was viewed as improving readability, accessibility, and workflow effic…
