Conn. Practice Book § 67-3

Except as otherwise ordered, the brief of the

appellant shall not exceed thirty-five pages and

shall be filed with the party appendix, if any, within

forty-five days after the delivery date of the ini -

tial transcript order by the appellant or forty-five

days after the clerk appendix is sent to the parties,

whichever is later. In cases where no transcript is

required or the transcript has been received by

the appellant prior to the filing of the appeal, the

appellant’s brief and party appendix, if any, shall be

filed forty-five days after the clerk appendix is sent

to the parties. Amendments to the transcript order

pursuant to Section 63-4 (a) (3) or with permission

of the court are not considered in determining the

due date for the appellant’s brief under this section.

Any party whose interest in the judgment will

not be affected by the appeal and who intends

not to file a brief shall inform the appellate clerk

of this intent prior to the deadline for the filing of

the appellee’s brief. In the case of multiple appellees, an appellee who supports the position of the

appellant shall meet the appellant’s time schedule

for filing a brief.

Except as otherwise ordered, the brief of the

appellee shall not exceed thirty-five pages, and

shall be filed with any party appendix within thirty

days after the filing of the appellant’s brief or the

delivery date of the portions of the transcript

ordered only by that appellee, whichever is later.

The appellant may file a reply brief in accordance with Section 67-5A.

Where there is a cross appeal, the brief and

party appendix, if any, of the cross appellant shall

be combined with the brief and party appendix, if

any, of the appellee. The brief shall not exceed fifty

pages and shall be filed with any party appendix

at the time the appellee’s brief is due. The brief

and party appendix, if any, of the cross appellee

shall be combined with the appellant’s reply brief,

if any. This brief shall not exceed forty pages and

shall be filed within thirty days after the filing of the

original appellee’s brief. The cross appellant may

file a cross appellant’s reply brief in accordance

with Section 67-5A.

Where cases are consolidated or a joint appeal

has been filed, the brief of the appellants and that

of the appellees shall not exceed the page limitations specified above.

All page limitations shall be exclusive of party

appendices, if any, the cover page, the table of

contents, the table of authorities, the statement

of issues, the signature block of counsel of record

and certifications.

Briefs shall not exceed the page limitations set

forth herein except by permission of the chief justice

or chief judge. Requests for permission to exceed

the page limitations shall be filed with the appellate

clerk, stating both the compelling reason for the

request and the number of additional pages sought.

Where a claim relies on the state constitution

as an independent ground for relief, the clerk shall,

upon request, grant an additional five pages for the

appellant and appellee briefs, which pages are to

be used for the state constitutional argument only.
