Ind. Appellate Rule 51

Effective July 1, 2026

A. Copying.

For conventionally filed appendices, the copies shall be on 8 1/2 by 11 inch white paper of a

weight normally used in printing and typing. The copying process used shall produce text in a

distinct black image on only one side of the paper. Except for exhibits governed by Access to

Court Records Rule 5(F), color copies of exhibits that were originally in color are permitted

and encouraged.

B. Order of Documents.

Documents included in an Appendix shall be arranged in the order listed in Rule 50.

C. Numbering.

Each Appendix volume shall be independently and consecutively numbered. All pages of the

Appendix volume, including the front page (see Rule 51(E)), shall be consecutively numbered

at the bottom starting with numeral one on each volume’s front page. The appendix page

numbers should not obscure the page numbers existing on the original documents.

D. Volumes.

All Appendices shall be submitted separately from the brief. An Appendix shall consist of a

table of contents (see Rule 51(F)) and one or more additional volumes, and each Appendix

volume must be limited in size to the lesser of two hundred fifty (250) pages or fifty mega-

bytes (50 MB). The front page shall be included in the two hundred fifty (250) page limit of

this rule. Conventionally filed volumes shall be bound with single staple or binder clip. They

shall not be bound in book or pamphlet form.

E. Front Page.

Each volume of an Appendix shall have a front page that conforms substantially to Form #Ap-

p.R. 51-1.

F. Table of Contents.

An Appendix shall contain a single table of contents for the entire Appendix, which shall be

submitted as Appendix Volume 1, regardless of the number of volumes.
