Plain-English Summary
A judgment for the payment of money must identify every judgment creditor and debtor and, where applicable, include the principal amount, the portion of it that accrues prejudgment interest and the rate, blanks for the court to fill in the prejudgment interest and any attorney's fees or costs awarded, a blank for the total judgment, the post-judgment interest rate, and any interest the State of Alaska holds in a punitive damages verdict — all in the format of the sample judgments attached to the rule. If more than one interest rate or start date applies, those details are left off the judgment itself, and the party preparing it instead submits a separate computation sheet showing the math. The judgment must include as much of each party's full legal name, and date of birth, as the preparing party knows, and a proposed judgment must have the judge's name typed under the signature line.
This form requirement doesn't apply to child support orders, which follow their own rule, and the clerk can reject a proposed judgment that doesn't comply with this rule or the state's general formatting rule.
Frequently Asked Questions

What happens if more than one interest rate applies to the judgment?
The rates and dates aren't listed on the judgment itself; instead, the party preparing it submits a separate computation sheet showing the interest calculations.
