<\/span><\/b><\/p>\nConverting to PDF<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 When converting to PDF, use Adobe\u2019s Press Quality conversion setting. This automatically embeds all fonts and keeps the document hi-res and full size. Other settings may decrease overall page size, thus reducing the font size and allowing font substitution. This will cause your brief to be rejected by the court.<\/span><\/p>\nMargins<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Set your margins, line spacing, and fonts prior to writing your brief. This will help with easier tracking and pagination of the Table of Contents and other tables, as well as allow your page breaks to be formatted as desired. Tables are not paginated until after the formatting is in place, as a change in margins or fonts will affect what page the cited headers or text fall on.<\/span>
When copying text from another document, change the font from the previous document (e.g. lower court orders\/opinions, quotes, excerpts of reference).<\/span><\/p>\nSample Briefs<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Briefs filed with the court are public documents \u2013 you may request a sample brief from the court.<\/span><\/p>\nMargins for SCOTUS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 When working with a page size of 8.5″x11″, set your margins to 2.19″ for the left and right margins and 1.94″ for the top and bottom margins. This will give you the correct text block size (Rule 33.1) and keep the page size at 8.5″x11″, making it easy for you to print and review a hard copy on your office printer. Note that the text block includes footnotes but not page numbering. When we print your brief, its final size will be the required page size of 6.125″x9.25″.<\/span><\/p>\nFonts for SCOTUS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 You must use a Century family font (Century Schoolbook is one of the most common). You must also use 12pt type for the body text and 10pt type for the footnotes (Rule 33.1).<\/span><\/p>\nLine Spacing for SCOTUS<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Briefs should be single-spaced with at least 2pt leading between lines (this is noting additional spacing required between lines, aside from a default single-space format) (Rule 33.1).<\/span><\/p>\nWord Count Compliance (for SCOTUS)<\/span><\/b>\u00a0\u2013 Each brief has its word count limitations \u2013 please review Rule 33.1(d). The word limits do not include the questions presented, the list of parties and the corporate disclosure statement, the table of contents, the table of cited authorities, the listing of counsel at the end of the document, or any appendix. Verbatim quotations required under Rule 14.1(f), if set out in the text of a brief rather than in the appendix, are also excluded. However, the word limits include all footnotes.<\/span><\/p>\n[\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ admin_label=”About” _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”40fa9e9a-c408-4bd1-a51c-804ed2be7003″ background_image=”https:\/\/hbp.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/texturebg.png” parallax=”on” saved_tabs=”all” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” width=”95%” max_width=”1373px” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.14.8″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_blurb title=”Everything You Need All in One Place” content_max_width=”994px” _builder_version=”4.14.9″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h1″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”37px” header_letter_spacing=”1px” header_line_height=”1.9em” body_font=”||||||||” body_font_size=”17px” body_line_height=”1.9em” text_orientation=”center” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”|0px|||false|false” custom_padding=”|0px|||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”]<\/p>\n
