The purpose of the program is to facilitate the narrowing or full resolution of the issues to be presented by the appellant on appeal. In furtherance thereof, the Court's Central Legal Staff attorneys have been provided additional mediation training and certification. In cases identified for Staff Conference, the Court will schedule a conference to occur approximately 30 days prior to the date the appellant's principal brief is due. 		*See Sample Rule 33 Staff Conference Order*. The conference may be rescheduled by the Court only upon a showing of good cause. The Staff Conference procedures are as follows:
> 		(1) No later than 14 days prior to the Staff Conference, the appellant shall submit to the Secretary and to the Court's Central Legal Staff, a summary of the issues that he or she intends to raise in the appeal, including citations to the relevant authorities and pertinent documents. 		**Appellants' counsel are strongly encouraged to avoid boilerplate. In keeping with the purpose of this Rule, the memorandum should narrow the issues before briefing and succinctly identify errors while citing to relevant evidence and legal authority.**		(2) The summary of issues shall be limited to 10 pages, subject to the requirements of Rule 32(b); the 10-page limit does not include submission of pertinent material in the record before the agency;				(3) Submissions shall be emailed to CLS at CLS-Calendar@uscourts.cavc.gov.   Fax submissions shall be sent to the CLS fax 		number at (202) 585-3951.				(4) The appellant shall also submit for filing with the Court and serve on the Secretary a certificate of service that includes the date of the appellant's submission to the Secretary and to CLS, the specific manner of service (fax or email), and the names and addresses of the persons served.
