New Rules Of Appellate Procedure For North Carolina
Government & Public Sector Section
As winter turns to spring, it’s a good time to freshen up on the N.C. Rules of Appellate Procedure! Did you know that new rules went into effect on Jan. 1, 2017? You will want to review these new rules before drafting your next appellate brief!
Perhaps the biggest change is that your likely go-to font, Courier, no longer complies with the rules. Your brief will also need a certificate of compliance for word count. The new rules also cover how en banc review will work. Please read the ARC Memo On New Rules for additional changes. Please also note that some minor changes to Rule 7 went into effect on March 16, 2017.
