Supplements to the Briefs
(A) Appellant’s supplement
In every civil case on appeal to the Supreme Court from a court of appeals or an
administrative agency, the appellant may prepare and file a supplement to the briefs that
contains those portions of the record necessary to enable the Supreme Court to determ ine
the questions presented. Parties to an appeal are encouraged to consult and agree on the
contents of the supplement to minimize the appellee’s need for filing a supplement.
Documents not necessary to determine the questions presented shall not be included in the
supplement. The fact that parts of the record are not included in the supplement shall not
prevent the parties or the Supreme Court from relying on those parts of the record.
(B) Appellant’s time to file
The appellant shall file the supplement with the appellant’s merit brief.
(C) Appellee’s supplement
The appellee may file a supplement to the merit briefs in the manner required by division
(A) of this rule. The appellee’s supplement shall not unnecessarily duplicate documents
contained in the appellant's supplement.
(D) Appellee’s time to file
The appellee’s supplement shall be filed with the appellee’s merit brief.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law.
