Joint appendix

A Joint Appendix typically refers to a submission of legal documents in support of a brief to a federal court of appeals or the Supreme Court.

## Description

When a petition for writ of certiorari is granted by the Supreme Court of the United States, a Joint Appendix must be prepared.[1] See Supreme Court Rule 26.[2] The Joint Appendix, commonly called the JA, accompanies the Petitioner's Merits Brief.[2] The Joint Appendix allows the Supreme Court ease of access to relevant portions of the record below. Similar to a merits brief, the Supreme Court requires a booklet-formatted and printed Joint Appendix.[3]

A Joint Appendix usually contains: 1) a table of contents; 2) relevant docket entries in the courts below; and 3) relevant pleadings, jury instruction, findings, conclusions, opinions or the judgment under review. Rule 26.1.[4]
