Chapter 5 · Preparation and Filing of Briefs

Rule 5.52. Appendix

Amended 2025 (current)

The purpose of an appendix to a brief is to provide, for the convenience of the reader, materials that would be helpful in understanding and resolving an issue raised on appeal. A party appropriately may include in an appendix, for instance, copies of a statute or statutes at issue in the appeal, or copies of cases that are not readily available from standard research sources. A party should not include in the appendix materials from the record of the tribunal from which the appeal is taken that should be in the excerpt of record.1
