Committee Comments: This rule is derived from Fed. R. Civ. P. 11 which requires
signatures on all papers. The signing of documents is important
because it constitutes a certificate by the attorney or party that he
or she has read the pleading or brief to ensure that it complies with
all federal and local rules. The requirement is interpreted broadly
and the attorney of record may designate another person to sign the
brief. If a party is represented by multiple counsel, the signature
from only one attorney of record is required.

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. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
