1. How do I electronically submit my brief and appendix?

Login to E-Services, click on Appellate E-filing, find your case under �List My Cases� or �My E-Filed Items.�  You can also search by docket number or by case name.  Click on your case to view your �Appeal Case Information� page.  From the drop-down menu at the top of this page select �Submit Electronic Version of a Brief or Appendix.�
 
2. I submitted my brief electronically.  Do I need to file it with the Office of the Appellate Clerk as well?

Yes. After you submit your brief and appendix through Appellate E-filing, you must file the original paper brief and appendix with the Office of the Appellate Clerk.  The original must be accompanied by a copy of the electronic confirmation receipt indicating that the brief and appendix were submitted electronically.  If your appeal is in the Supreme Court, you must file the original and 15 copies of your paper brief and appendix.  If your appeal is in the Appellate Court, you must file the original and 10 copies of your paper brief and appendix.  See Practice Book � 67-2.
 
3. What will happen if I have not electronically submitted my brief and appendix and I attempt to file my brief and appendix with the Office of the Appellate Clerk?

5. Does the electronic submission of my brief and/or appendix satisfy my obligation to meet a filing deadline?

8. My appeal contains confidential protected information the disclosure of which is prohibited by statute, or has been sealed in part or in its entirety by a court order. Do I need to submit a redacted brief and appendix?
 
Yes, you must redact the brief and appendix or omit the protected information. The responsibility for omitting or redacting protected information rests with the party who has prepared the brief and appendix. All briefs and appendices in protected cases must include a certification that any name or other information that is prohibited from disclosure has been redacted or has not been revealed in the briefs or appendices. See General Statutes �� 46b-124 and 54-86e; Practice Book �� 67-2, 11-20A, 30a-8 and 77-2. In cases that require briefs and appendices to be redacted, it is suggested that each brief and appendix be submitted as separate uploads.

10. Does the file I submit need to have a specific file name?

No.
 
11. Do the brief and appendix that I submit have to be identical to the paper brief and appendix I file at the Office of the Appellate Clerk?

The content and pagination must be identical.  Because of file size restrictions (50 megabytes), however, you may have to submit the appendix in more than one upload.  For example, you might file an appendix in paper form that is a single bound document, but the electronic size limitations may require you to submit the appendix in 2 segments.  Always upload the appendix in the fewest number of segments possible.
 
12. Can I submit more than one document at once?

No. Only one PDF may be submitted at a time.
