Supreme Court Paper Size

Well, for some reason, these standards are set for physical storage purposes. Just in case the world`s wonderful technologies, which their trolls apparently like to abuse to openly mock and hurt their own intelligence, collapse. The paper must be of a certain type. The dimensions should be different from those of a standard Xerox A4 paper (8.5×11 inches), essentially for the simple long-term storage task. It`s as simple as that. I would like to see quotes from you that show that the reasons you gave are the reasons for the seemingly arbitrary size and weight of the document used to file with the U.S. Supreme Court. The only real reason for this paper size is that, as with all government institutions, it would be expensive to change this size and modernize storage facilities to accommodate new or different sizes, this is the only good reason to end the story that Crapoula about how easy it is to make or note, etc. are just stupid assumptions, yes, It can be easier, it can be many other things, the fact is that in 2013, with color electronic paper, you can have digital fills that do not really use paper and take up much less storage space, if it needs to be stored, you can store the digital bits in microscopic grooves that could be recovered later, And these grooves could be made on anything that lasts a thousand years and no paper. If what you claimed is true (or makes sense), then the default legal size would be 9.25 x 12.5, but that`s not the case. It`s 8.5 x 14.

So what? All the criticism refers to the «Booklet Format» paper size, which is the seemingly unique 12.25″ x 9.25″ paper, which is folded and bound into a 6.125″ x 9.25″ booklet. The fact that this size is not used for ANY purpose other than Federal Court cases is the problem. Can you imagine that Supreme Court justices would have to organize this amount of paper by hand? 2) A printer capable of printing «royal» paper – can you imagine the size and cost of a printer capable of printing 20″ x 25″ paper? 9 and 1/4 inch is a strange number when it comes to lateral length. Most of us know that paper (as long as we`re not in Europe or Asia) is 8.1/2 inches wide and 11 inches high, commonly referred to as «letter» paper. If you take a standard sheet of stationery and fold it, you will get a booklet of 5 and 1/2 inches by 8 and 1/2 inches. For the purposes of the Supreme Court, it does not work for whatever reason. (Interestingly, the dimensions of the block of printed text fit easily on a sheet of paper, so one could say that Rule 33.1 is designed to prescribe slightly larger margins rather than more.) For example, a standard size for a Bankers Box is 10″ H x 12″ W x 15″ D. This way, the same box can be used to store both U.S. Letter (8.5 x 11) and U.S. Legal (8.5 x 14) paper with folders or other dividers or tabs.

Sorry, but am I just madly confused (and mostly ignorant on paper), or are you arguing here that the paper needs to be larger (9.25×12.5 vs 8.5×11) to fit in the envelope? In my experience, the smaller something is, the easier it is for me to get it in an envelope. OK, so I dug a bit deeper and it seems the minimum weight (I guess the base) is 60 pounds (plain copy paper is 20 pounds), so the paper they need is much heavier than standard paper, not lighter. You are seriously arguing that the length of the document helps the Supreme Court decide cases more quickly? Real? Real? Oddly enough, most of the «medium-sized filing cabinets» I know are designed for 8-1/2 «x 11″ or 8-1/2″ x 14″ paper. Please show me a cabinet for 6-1/8″ x 9-1/4″ materials. What printers do is lay out Octavo pages on sheets of royal paper, print them, fold them, then bind and cut them, reducing the dimensions to 9-1/4″ x 6-1/8». If an entire state uses this strange size, there are definitely places where you can buy the finished paper. Strangely, I can find boxes, shippers, and even meat packages of this size, but I can`t find paper. (It could exist, but I`ve never heard of it and I`ve worked in the industry.) Sell laser printer paper and binding sets. Earn money.

«The font of the documents is always in the standard US Letter Paper format. The purpose of width is to prevent obstruction of text during photocopying. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the following types of documents may not be filed on paper when filed through the Court`s electronic filing system: 1. requests for extensions of time under Rule 30.4; (2) waiver of the right to respond to a petition under section 15.5; (3) general consent to the filing of amicus curiae briefs pursuant to Rules 37.2(a) and 37.3(a); and (4) requests to defer the distribution of an application for a certificate pursuant to the Court`s order of March 19, 2020. The dimensions of the papers correspond to the envelope in which they are kept. This is done daily on standard paper. They simply offset the edges (usually about 1/4 – 1/2») without the need for a special page size. The orientation of the Hon`ble Apex Court in this case is a positive effort for the protection and conservation of the environment.

The initiative of the Honourable Supreme Court will protect the environment from further deterioration. In the past, petitions were written on «legal papers» larger than A4 sheets and only single-sided printing on papers was allowed. That said, there`s a really fascinating tangent to it all. After the Court of Appeal again rejected Greenspan`s arguments, he went through the filing process to ask the Supreme Court to hear the case (the chances of this actually happening are very, very, very slim). However, his blog post about why it was filed and the insane process the Supreme Court lets you go through is absolutely worth reading. Essentially, he notes that at every stage, there are bizarre, convoluted and ridiculous rules that seem to serve no purpose other than trying to make it hellish for an ordinary person to appeal to the Supreme Court without hiring an expensive lawyer and/or really expensive services. Here`s just an excerpt from a much longer article that I highly recommend, even though I feel like his lamentations are a total waste of time. The paper letter size is approximately 8.5×11.75 inches. That part of the size you`re writing about is technically where you want it all to be. I really mean on Royal Standard (thanks Aussie Geoff ?), the only reason you need it is to leave room for binding, where the 8.5 inch x 11.75 inch portion of paper paper can be written can be easily photocopied. Despite my terminological confusion (note that, unlike you, I am man enough to admit my mistakes), my point remains. Note: I assume that royal paper is still a common standard size that is readily available in the US, otherwise it will have to pay for specially cut paper.

I will leave the layout of the pages on the front and back so that the pages are in the right order when folding the paper as an exercise for the reader (masochistic reading). After reading this blog and Aaron Greenspan`s article, it was time for me to file a petition with the Supreme Court, and I had the paper cut to the right size by a paper mill. After going through this, I would like to make it available to others who have to file briefs. Take a look at supremecourtpaper.com. Thank you! A4 is slightly narrower and slightly longer than American stationery. «Maybe it`s because my state of Ohio uses the same arbitrary size.» Well, honestly, despite all these remarks about paper size, the fact that Perfect Binding would have saved a lot of money and time (not to mention that it is much more durable). I just think Greenspan inflates a lot to do nothing. he`s known for catching when he doesn`t get what he wants (ask Mark Zuckeburg about that).
