(a) Briefs and party appendices, if any, shall be typewritten on white 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. Unless ordered otherwise, briefs shall be copied on one side of the page only. Party appendices may be copied on both sides of the page. The page number for briefs and party appendices shall be centered on the bottom of each page. The brief shall be fully double spaced and shall not exceed inch or twenty-seven three lines to the vertical lines to the page; footnotes and block quotations may, however, be single spaced. Margins shall be 1 inch on all sides. Briefs and party appendices, which may be bound together, shall be bound in a way that preserves the integrity of the document. Any such binding shall be easy to remove so that the briefs and party appendices, if any, can be scanned. (b) The brief and party appendix, if any, shall include a single pagination scheme that starts on the cover page of the brief and continues through- out the entire document, on every page, including the cover and table of contents for the party appendix through to the last page of the party appendix. The page numbers shall be centered on the bottom of each page and shall be written as ‘‘Page X of XX’’ (e.g., Page 1 of 55 . . . Page 32 of 55 . . . Page 55 of 55). A party appendix shall have an index of the names of witnesses whose testimony is cited within it. If any part of the testimony of a witness is omitted, this shall be indicated by asterisks. After giving the name of a witness, the party who called that witness shall be designated, and it shall be stated whether the testimony quoted was given on direct, cross or other examination. (c) If constitutional provisions, statutes, ordi- nances, regulations, or portions of the transcript are contained in a party appendix, they may be reproduced in their original form so long as the document is not reduced to less than 75 percent of its original form. 478 © Copyrighted by the Secretary of the State of the State of Connecticut RULES OF APPELLATE PROCEDURE
