11th Cir. R. 40-8: En Banc Briefs
Rules and Internal Operating Procedures of the Eleventh Circuit — Title VII. General Provisions
An en banc briefing schedule shall be set by the clerk for all appeals in which initial hearing en banc or rehearing en banc is granted by the court. Ten copies of en banc briefs must be filed and served. En banc briefs should be prepared in the same manner and form as opening briefs and conform to the requirements of FRAP 28 and 32. The covers of all en banc briefs shall be of the color required by FRAP 32 and shall contain the title “En Banc Brief.” Unless otherwise directed by the court, the page and type-volume limitations described in FRAP 32(a)(7) apply to en banc briefs.
Use of the ECF system does not modify the requirement that filers must provide to the court ten paper copies of en banc briefs. Filers will be considered to have complied with this requirement if, on the day the electronic brief is filed, the filer sends ten paper copies to the clerk using one of the methods outlined in FRAP 25(a)(2)(A)(ii).
