I finally settled on a lawsuit. The lawyers sent me a settlement agreement to be signed. Next to my name is a date and the words BY: and ITS: What does ITS mean? Do I write in my name in the BY: part? What do I write in for the ITS: part?

Thanks for your help,

I think that the ITS is the place where whoever witnessed your signature signs.

Better yet, ask the lawyer who sent it to you.  Make 'em earn their money.

Give it more than 20 minutes, and you might get some replies.  Patience.  Not everyone is reading this right now.

Good point. These freaking vultures make so much money over "Legal Documents." To make this lawsuit go away cost more than the cost of a class 3 m-16.

Were you suing personally, or on behalf of a corporation?  Usually, the "ITS" part is looking for you to write in your position with the company, such as President or whatever.  If this was not a lawsuit involving a corporation, I would guess your lawyer forgot to change the form release.  As already mentioned, ask your lawyer.

That's only used in cases where someone is the representative of the party signing.

It's most likely a mistake on the part of whomever drew up the settlement agreement.

Ordinarily, it used thus:

ERIC THE HUN, INC.


By:  _________________________
    Eric The Hun
Its: President

You can still sign your name to the document by doing it in this manner:


By: _________________________[<-sign name here]
   John91498
Its: [i][/b]Pro Se[/b][/i]

[i][b]Pro Se[/b][/i] simply means 'for oneself.'
