The Georgia Court of Appeals has updated its rules on forms of
briefs. Practitioners who rely on "shell" forms to start
their briefs need to take a careful look at the Court's new
Rules 25-27. The Court posted a helpful explanation on its website to explain
the differences between the old and new Rules for briefing.
Unlike the Eleventh Circuit, the Georgia Court of Appeals still
does not require a Table of Contents or a Table of Authorities,
though many appellate lawyers will include those as a matter of
course (they still don't count toward the word limits, see Rule
24(f)(3)). The Court's explanation comments that these tables
are "suggested for briefs of significant length or
complexity."
The new rules . . . include mandatory and optional items.
