Rule 13A 

The proposed change to Rule 13A 

would add a new subparagraph (h) as 

follows: 

(h) Time Limitation. An amicus curiae 

brief submitted under this Rule is not 

subject to the time limitation in Rule 

26(b), but such brief shall be filed no 

less than 14 days before the scheduled 

date for oral argument. Both the 

appellant and the appellee may file a 

reply to such brief within 7 days of the 

filing thereof, subject to the limitations 

specified in Rule 24(b) and (c). 

Comment: The proposed change to 

Rule 13A would provide that a brief 

submitted under the Student Practice 

Rule would not fall under the normal 

deadline for filing amicus curiae briefs 

provided in Rule 26(b) (requiring filing 

within 10 days of the filing of the brief 

of the party supported), but rather 

would be due for filing no less than 14 

days before the scheduled date for oral 

argument. The proposal is intended to 

eliminate the problem posed in Project 

Outreach cases that are often selected 

and/or calendared well beyond the date 

for filing amicus curiae briefs. The
