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.

What is the rationale behind the concept of special pleading when it comes to arguments for the existence of God?

Special pleading is a logical fallacy where someone applies different standards or rules to a particular situation, often to support their own argument. In the context of arguments for the existence of God, special pleading can occur when believers use different criteria or exceptions to justify their belief in God, while not applying the same standards to other beliefs or claims. This can weaken the overall credibility of the argument for God's existence.
