Writ-petition support and opposition briefs are limited to 35 pages and reply briefs to 20 pages, excluding the listed materials; the Court may grant leave for good cause under CRC Rule 3.1113 and any other conditions it imposes.

The form of briefs in support of or in opposition to writ petitions (regarding mandate and prohibition) must generally conform to rules specified for motions in both these Rules and the California Rules of Court, except that no brief, either in support of or in opposition to a writ petition, including its memorandum of points and authorities (but excluding exhibits, declarations, attachments, tables, and proof of service) may exceed thirty-five (35) pages in length, and no reply brief may exceed 20 pages. Leave of Court to file a brief in excess of the limitations fixed by this Rule may be granted upon a showing of good cause, and an application for such leave of Court must be made according to the procedures set forth in CRC Rule 3.1113, and on such other conditions as the Court may impose.
