California The California appellate rules (available here) do not mention electronic briefs. The Second District Court of Appeals has issued an Invitation to File Electronic Records and Briefs (available here) that encourages hyperlinked briefs. The Court said that its ideal electronic brief will have the reporter's transcript and joint appendix (both searchable), copies of all cited authorities, and all briefs with hyperlinks. "So, for example, a citation to the record would be hyperlinked to the reporters' transcript or to the appendix -- and thus would be only a mouse-click away from the person reviewing the brief on a computer screen."
GeorgiaNeither the Georgia Supreme Court rules (available here) nor the rules for the Georgia Court of Appeals (available here) mention electronic briefs. Clerks for both courts, however, have accepted hyperlinked briefs accompanied by a motion for leave to file such a brief, and both courts routinely grant those motions. |
