The court may promulgate local forms which supplement or modify the Official Forms promulgated by the Judicial Conference of the United States and the additional forms promulgated by the Director of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts, and which complement these rules and the Bankruptcy Rules.  Unless otherwise directed by the court, the applicable local forms must be used in every case or proceeding.  Local forms shall be used without any variation, to the extent possible, and any variation or fill-in-the-blank portion must be underlined or bold.  The clerk shall maintain a current set and list of all local forms, each bearing the date of its most recent revision, copies of which shall be made available in each office and on the court web site.
