The filing requirements in the thirteen federal circuit courts of appeals are complex, and often confusing. In addition to the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure, each circuit court of appeals operates under its own set of local rules—mandatory practice standards that periodically change, and sometimes conflict with the federal rules. And adding to that confusion, the various clerks’ offices often adhere to unwritten practices and preferences that are distinctive to each court.
