Rule 14. Length and Form of Briefs
(5) Certificate of Compliance. Every brief must be accompanied by a certificate that confirms compliance with the applicable word limit. Form 2 is a template certificate of compliance. A party preparing a certificate of compliance may rely on the word count of the word processing system used to prepare the brief if it counts the required words including any footnotes.
(c) Briefs Filed in Paper. A party permitted to file a brief in paper must securely bind the brief (for example, the pages of the brief may be clipped or banded), but the binding must not use adhesives. The Supreme Court and Division One discourage the use of devices such as staples or two-pronged fasteners that perforate the pages of the brief.
