Does the Court employ a word counting clerk?
A. No, but along with the filing and the Affidavit of Service, each Brief must also have a Certificate of Word-Count Compliance signed by an attorney admitted to practice before the Supreme Court or signed and notarized by someone else involved in the preparation of the Brief. Arthur Chotin, the President of Legal Printers and a member of the U.S. Supreme Court Bar, is empowered to create and sign a Certificate of Compliance.
