Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
I am a nursing student and I have been a victim of identity theft in which my school has released my student info without my consent or knowledge. Which forms do I need to file a civil legitimate lawsuit?

The first question is whether and how you have been damaged. Once you determine that, you will be able to determine if you need to file in Small Claims Court or Superior Court.
Forms? If you know how to effectively represent yourself up against experienced defense counsel in pursing contract rights and claims under various state and federal laws, and know how to plead the various causes of action you may have available, and handle the 'discovery', motion and trial process, you could start by looking at the general purpose forms available from your local court or online at the state court's website.
