English-Plural Possessives

What is the proper way to address multiple Defendants and a single Plaintiff? Essentially, when is it proper to use the word Defendants, Defendant's and Defendants'.

For a single Plaintiff, would he always be addressed as Plaintiff or Plaintiff's?

Thank you ever so much for your help!
