RULES  OF  THE  SUPREME  COURT 

printed in typographic (as opposed to typewriter) characters. 
The process used must produce a clear, black image on white 
paper.  The  text  must  be  reproduced  with  a  clarity  that 
equals or exceeds the output of a laser printer. 

(b)  The  text  of  every  booklet-format  document,  including 
any  appendix  thereto,  shall  be  typeset  in  a  Century  family 
(e. g., Century Expanded, New  Century Schoolbook, or Cen­
tury Schoolbook) 12-point type with 2-point or more leading 
between  lines.  Quotations  in  excess  of  50  words  shall  be 
indented.  The  typeface  of  footnotes  shall  be  10-point  type 
with 2-point or more leading between lines.  The text of the 
document must appear on both sides of the page. 

(c)  Every  booklet-format  document  shall  be  produced  on 
paper  that  is  opaque,  unglazed,  and  not  less  than  60  pounds 
in weight, and shall have margins of at least three-fourths of 
an inch on all sides.  The text ﬁeld, including footnotes, may 
not exceed 41/8  by 71/8  inches.  The document shall be bound 
ﬁrmly  in  at  least  two  places  along  the  left  margin  (saddle 
stitch  or  perfect  binding  preferred)  so  as  to  permit  easy 
opening,  and  no  part  of  the  text  should  be  obscured  by  the 
binding.  Spiral,  plastic,  metal,  or  string  bindings  may  not 
be used.  Copies of patent documents, except opinions, may 
be  duplicated  in  such  size  as  is  necessary  in  a  separate 
appendix. 

(d)  Every booklet-format document, shall comply with the 
word limits shown  on the chart in subparagraph  1(g) of this 
Rule.  The  word  limits  do  not  include  the  questions  pre­
sented, the list of parties and the corporate disclosure state­
ment, the table of contents, the table of cited authorities, the 
listing  of  counsel  at  the  end  of  the  document,  or  any  appen­
dix.  The  word  limits  include  footnotes.  Verbatim  quota­
tions  required  under  Rule  14.1(f),  if  set  out  in  the  text  of  a 
brief  rather  than  in  the  appendix,  are  also  excluded.  For 
good  cause,  the  Court  or  a  Justice  may  grant  leave  to  ﬁle  a 
document  in  excess  of  the  word  limits,  but  application  for 
such  leave  is  not  favored.  An  application  to  exceed  word 
limits shall comply with Rule 22 and must be received by the 
Clerk at least 15 days before the ﬁling date of the document 
in question, except in the most extraordinary circumstances.
