MERITS BRIEFS
The merits stage of a Supreme Court case comes with its own set of detailed rules. First, a joint appendix must be prepared. See Supreme Court Rule 26. The Court requires that all joint appendices contain a table of contents "showing the parts of the record that it contains, in the order in which the parts are set out, with references to the pages of the joint appendix at which each part begins." Rule 26.5. Furthermore, all relevant lower court docket entries "shall" be placed after the joint appendix table of contents. Id. When brief printing is completed, counsel must send a copy of the merits briefs in a "text searchable portable document format (PDF) compatible with the latest version of Adobe Acrobat with all fonts embedded," to the Court. See Guidelines for Electronic Submission of Brief on the Merits (Oct. 1, 2007).
