We’re also going to keep looking for additional guidance or rules that might be in practice on consolidated page limits amongst parties that are asserting the same violation, as that was part of the conversation that opened this line of inquiry.  If you recall, there is a limitation currently drafted into the Supplementary Procedures that amongst all persons joined as claimants there is a collective 25-page limitation, and we are still looking for further external guidance on that issue.

Thanks,
Sam

Dear IRP-IOT members,

On the last call, there was a question raised about page limits. We had some research done on this issue. Below is some information to help inform an IRP-IOT recommendation:

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, California Rules of Civil Procedure, the ICC’s Arbitration Rules, and the ICDR Arbitration Rules do not have page limit guidance.  As a result, we expanded our search to include the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, the California Rules of Court, and the Central District of California’s Local Rules.

Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure (FRAP)

  *   A principal brief may not exceed 30 pages unless it contains no more than 13,000 words; a reply brief may not exceed 15 pages unless it contains no more than 6,500 words. (FRAP 32(a)(7))
  *   Amicus brief must not exceed 2,600 words (FRAP 29(a)(b)(4))

California Rules of Court (CRC)

Civil Rules:

  *   No opening or responding memorandum may exceed 15 pages, except in a summary judgment or summary adjudication motion. (CRC 3.1113(d))
  *   In a summary judgment or summary adjudication motion, no opening or responding memorandum may exceed 20 pages (CRC 3.1113(d))
  *   No reply or closing memorandum may exceed 10 pages (CRC 3.1113(d))



Appellate Rules:

  *   Briefs by parties and amicus curiae produced on a computer must not exceed 14,000 words, including footnotes. (CRC 8.204(c)(1))
  *   Briefs by parties and amicus curiae produced on a typewriter must not exceed 50 pages. (CRC 8.204(c)(2))
  *   A combined brief in an appeal must not exceed 28,000 words if produced on a computer or 100 pages if produced on a typewriter. (CRC 8.204(c)(5))


A petition for rehearing or an answer to a petition for rehearing produced on a computer must not exceed 7,000 words, including footnotes. A petition or answer produced on a typewriter must not exceed 25 pages. (CRC 8.204(c)(5))

Central District of California Local Rules:

  *   No memorandum of points and authorities, pre-trial brief, trial brief, or post-trial brief shall exceed 25 pages, excluding indices and exhibits, unless permitted by order of the judge. (L.R. 11-6)



  *   Supplemental memorandum may not exceed five pages in length. (L.R. 37-2.3)

Best regards,
Liz
