Process
Process for U.S. Supreme Court Briefs
After preparing your brief as you would any normal document, please send it to us via email or fax. There is no need to worry about formatting or using a particular font type or size—Cockle takes care of that for you. For appendix material, simply send by email or fax the items you wish to include.
Once we receive your documents, you can rest assured they become our top priority. We will contact your office to let you know they have arrived, discuss any questions or concerns we may have, and inform you when to expect proofs. One of our highly-trained Document Analysts will review your brief for rule compliance and also provide an in-depth review of your Questions Presented. In addition, our analysts will review your appendix items to confirm the Court required documents are included and are in the correct order.
The preparation of your brief is handled precisely and in strict accordance with the Supreme Court Rules. On every typeset document, Cockle Law Brief Printing Co. provides two highly-trained proofreaders who read your copy aloud, word-for-word, for any misspellings, inconsistencies and wording that may not be clear. For example, if a case citation takes one form on page 1 and another on page 20, our proofreaders will catch the inconsistency and question it on your proof. Our clients frequently comment on how much they appreciate this service and value our staff’s expertise.
After we have reviewed, formatted and thoroughly proofread your document, we will send you your proofs. At that time, you will have the opportunity to review the proofs for any additional edits and answer questions noted by our proofreaders. When you are ready, simply call us to discuss your edits. We will make the requested changes and begin printing your document.
The required copies of your document will then be timely filed with the Clerk, opposing counsel, and any other individuals you have specified. Cockle also prepares the affidavit of service and the certificate of word compliance.
