Submitting Appellate Brief Guidelines

Summary

In Missouri, when submitting an appellate brief, include a signed certificate of service with the date of submission. If an unsigned copy was emailed to the opposing party, inform the court clerk and provide a signed hard copy to the court. Additionally, resend a signed copy to the opposing party. Always sign your name under your printed name on the certificate of service.
