Disclosure Of Corporate Affiliations And Financial Interest

DISCLOSURE OF CORPORATE AFFILIATIONS AND CITIZENSHIP. This form is used in the United States District Court for the Western District of Wisconsin to help judges evaluate potential conflicts of interest that could require their disqualification or recusal. It must be submitted by counsel for any private (non-governmental) business, company, or corporation when making their first filing in a case, such as a pleading, motion, or response. The form requires disclosure of whether the named party is a subsidiary or affiliate of a publicly owned corporation, whether any publicly owned corporation holds a significant financial interest in the party, and whether the case is based on diversity jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332(a). If diversity is involved, the form requires a complete statement of all individuals or entities whose citizenship is attributed to the party. This information is mandated under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 7.1 to ensure transparency and preserve the integrity of the court’s jurisdiction and impartiality. www.FormsWorkflow.com
