The heading at the top of a pleading or other document filed with a court is called the "style" of the case. Generally, the style will appear identically from one document to the next in the same court.
On the upper left side, the style usually includes the names of the parties (Smith v. Jones). On the right side, the style usually includes the name and location of the court (334th District Court of Harris County, Texas). Styles may be affected by the local rules of a particular court. The appellate courts generally have stringent rules regarding what does and does not appear in the style of a case.
Styles in the appellate courts may or may not include the location of the court. For example, "In the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit," without stating the Court's location, which is New Orleans, Louisiana. The style of a state appeals court might read, "In the Third Court of Appeals, Houston, Texas".
The style quickly identifies the parties and the court, making the handling of court documents easier and more efficient for the parties, the court and its staff, and the lawyers and their staffs.
