This Complaint Checklist is part of my Colorado Litigation Checklist approach to litigation knowledge management and litigation strategy. A Complaint is used to initiate a lawsuit. Before filing, an attorney should consider at a minimum the following:
-
Checklist:
- Pre-Complaint Investigation
- Review potential claims and their elements
- Ensure there is factual support, or a good faith belief that you will obtain factual support, for each element of each claim
- Ensure that a federal court Complaint meets the standard set forth in Twombly
- Even if the complaint will be filed in state court, there are reasons to still ensure it meets the Twombly pleading requirements
- Special considerations for complaints against multiple defendants
