Overtime

Overtime begins to accrue at 5:00 PM (at $20.00/hour); however, for the safety of our employees, we require that there be at least two employees here in an overtime situation. Therefore, if overtime is required after 5:30 when all shifts normally leave for the day, you will be charged at two times the overtime rate.

General Guidelines for Briefs

Please give us a call before you bring in your brief, so that we may schedule it; the more notice the better. Please provide us with one perfect copy. If you are having us do the mailing for you, make sure the brief and its certificates are signed by the attorney. Your completed briefs will be returned as soon as they are done if you are mailing them, or extra copies will be delivered by noon the next business day if we handle the mailing.

Quantity

Unless instructed otherwise, we will provide:

  • 30 copies of briefs that file 20 with the court
  • 25 copies of briefs that file 12 or 15 with the court

We adjust upward or downward if we notice a greater/lesser number of opposing counsel. If you desire a specific number, please advise us.

Color of Cover

We are familiar with the requirements of most courts; however, if there is any question about proper color, we will contact you for instructions.

Single vs. Double-Sided

All Ninth Circuit briefs are printed single-sided. Briefs for the Oregon courts are printed single-sided, unless they are prepared with numbering suitable for double-sided copying (odd numbers at right margin, even numbers at left margin) and/or we are told that double-sided copying is preferred.

Mailing and Mailing Labels

Postage and shipping charges are billed at cost. There is no additional shipping or handling charge.

If we will be mailing the brief, please provide us with mailing labels for the court and all opposing or co-counsel and/or clients. We send 2 copies to opposing or CO-counsel and 1 copy to clients unless you specify otherwise. If the brief must be mailed via certified mail, please provide completed USPS certified mail receipts.

Procedures Regarding Printing Confidential Briefs — ORAP Rule 5.95

The brief is checked — never read! — to verify that page numbering is consecutive and that no page numbers appear to have been omitted or duplicated. If we are to mail the brief, we check to make sure it is signed and that the date on any certificate(s) of service or mailing is the correct mailing date.

If for some reason the brief cannot be printed immediately, it is stored in a secure place until such time as it can be printed.

All copies are prepared for mailing (or delivery) and placed in sealed envelopes (or boxes). One additional copy is required for billing purposes; however, the brief is invoiced immediately (or placed in a sealed envelope and stored in a secure place until it can be checked and invoiced), and then this remaining copy is shredded.
