2. Established behavior or procedure, usu. according to custom or rule (the prosecutor followed the established form in her closing argument).

3. A model; a sample; an example (attorneys often draft pleadings by using a form instead of starting from scratch).

4. The customary method of drafting legal documents, usu. with fixed words, phrases, and sentences (Jones prepared the contract merely by following the state bar’s form).
