Court Brief Formatting and Filing Checklist

How It Works

Every court has its own formatting quirks. This skill takes your draft,

applies the formatting rules you specify, and returns a cleaner filing draft

plus a checklist of anything that still needs a human eye.

What You Get

• A court-specific formatting pass based on your checklist, sample, or official rule source
• Caption, spacing, font, numbering, and pagination cleanup where the rule is clear
• Page and word count checks against the limit you specify
• Certificate of service and filing checklist drafts
• Table of Contents and Table of Authorities support when required
• A punch list of unresolved formatting questions for manual review

Setup Steps

1. Upload your brief or motion
2. Specify the court, document type, and any sample or rule source to follow
3. Review the formatted draft and unresolved-item checklist
4. Finalize before filing

Tips

• This works best when you give it a prior filing, firm template, or court checklist to match
• Use it at the end of the drafting process, after substantive edits are finished
• Keep a saved template set for your most common courts
• Pair it with Cite Checker and Draft Error Checker for a stronger final pass
