7. Comply with the rules regarding brief length, font size, margins, and other formatting guidelines. Failure to follow these requirements may result in your brief being rejected or disregarded.
8. After completing the brief, make multiple copies for submission. Check if the court requires any additional copies and if there are any filing fees. File the brief with the appropriate court within the specified deadline.
9. Serve the opposing party with a copy of the brief. Follow the appropriate rules and methods for serving legal documents. Keep a record of the date and manner of service for future reference.
