Document Format Requirements
Rules are being added for this category.
Document formatting rules govern the presentation and technical requirements for filings: font family and size, margin widths, line spacing, file format, PDF text-searchability, bookmarks, and exhibit handling. Baseline rules often come from statewide, federal, or local rules, but court-level instructions and judge-specific procedures can add stricter requirements. Non-compliant formatting is a frequent basis for rejection or correction.
