We will hand file your briefs

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

A camera ready brief is one which we will not change, alter or edit your text. This type of brief is sent to us as a PDF file that is already formatted in compliance with the Supreme Court Rules. A brief which needs typesetting, is sent to us in its native form (Word or Word Perfect), and Wilson Epes Printing will take care of the formatting, ensuring that the document conforms to the Rules of the Supreme Court.

Generally we can print and file your camera ready briefs the same day. Briefs which contain a large appendix, we may like to have a day before.

We ask for at least 1 week prior to filing for appendix material. We will take these files as they become available. Upon compiling all the different parts, we can always re-order as needed. Petitions, amicus, Reply and all other brief matter, we ask for 48 hours prior to filing.

Most proofs are sent via email as a PDF file. You will have the opportunity to mark your edits on the proof. You may then email us your edited page or fax them to us at 202-842-4896.
