FAQ and Support

The appellate brief template is a fully formatted Microsoft Word document. It saves you time and money by eliminating the burdensome formatting normally required when writing an appellate brief.

It has all or the formatting that’s normally required in an appellate brief. Unlike other legal template sites, the appellate brief template is not a fillable form or a PDF, but is instead a completely customizable Word document that’s been formatted as an appellate brief.

The template is intended for attorneys and other legal professionals who simply do not have the time to waste on the painstaking process of formatting an appellate brief.

None. This is not a legal template similar to divorce papers or bills of sale. The appellate brief is likely the most difficult document to format in the legal profession. An appellate brief is also an incredibly important legal document that requires a great deal of time and energy to create.

This template is designed under the mindset that many attorneys and legal professionals must spend their time wisely. It simply cannot be said that an attorney’s time is being spent wisely while they, or their staff, waste hours desperately trying to format an appellate brief in Microsoft Word. For whatever reason, Microsoft Word has made the process foolishly cumbersome, time-consuming, and simply an unneeded stresser.

Downloading the template allows you more resources to apply to your brief because it eliminates time-wasters. It saves you time by coming pre-formatted with distinct formatting styles and instructions on how to make any adjustments required by your jurisdiction, and simply increases your quality of life by eliminating another source of stress in your career.

That really depends on how you define hard but generally yes. Crafting your legal argument and writing your brief is hard. However you’re likely a lawyer, student, or other legal professional, and writing your brief is something you’ve been trained to do. The stress associated with writing your brief is simply part of the job and it can be mitigated with preparation and experience.

Formatting your brief is a different kind of stress because here, you’re at the mercy of a Microsoft Office and success doesn’t necessarily hinge on your legal skills. Formatting success is entirely dependent on your knowledge of Microsoft Word.

Even with a good working knowledge of Word, formatting an appellate brief takes a lot trial and error. You must be willing to accept that it could possibly take many hours to get it right.

You also have to accept that there is an extreme amount of room for user error and you might make mistakes that you’re unaware of until the unfortunate moment you’re confronted with them.

There are countless videos and online tutorials explaining how to format an appellate brief. They tend to be long, require multiple viewings, and are exactly as exciting as you would expect them to be. And again, there is a lot of room for error. If formatting an appellate brief were easy, then there would not be countless hours of online tutorials on the topic.

Final Advice: If you decide to format your brief yourself, it’s unwise to wait until the last minute to do it. You might find yourself in a very nasty situation.

Of course, if you do wait until the last minute and the situation seems hopeless, terrifying, or simply a waste of time, you’re always welcome to come back and download an appellate brief template.
