In many U.S. Jurisdictions, a complaint submitted to a court must be
accompanied by a Case Information Statement, which sets forth
certain key information about the case and the lawyers representing
the parties. This allows the judge to make determinations about which
deadlines to set for different phases of the case, as it moves through
the court system.

Cause of Action
In the law, a cause of action (sometimes called a claim) is a set of
facts sufficient to justify a right to sue. The phrase may refer
to the legal theory upon which a plaintiff brings suit for breach of
contract, damages done to property, debt, bodily injury or many
different reasons for a person to file a claim.

different reasons for a person to file a claim.
To pursue a cause of action, a plaintiff pleads or alleges facts in a
complaint, the pleading that initiates a lawsuit. A cause of action
generally encompasses both the legal theory (the legal wrong the
plaintiff claims to have suffered) and the remedy (the relief a court is
asked to grant).
Often the facts or circumstances that entitle a person to seek judicial
relief may create multiple causes of action.
