Where in this does the 40 pages start counting? What would be considered page one, my instructions says "IX Opinions Below" starts the 40 pages. But where does the writ of certiorari come in at?
Where would the table of authorities go?
Does the federal authorities and Virginia authorites need to be seperated?
/we will be willing to pay more to get an answer to this problem
yes that's right, as you can see from this sample http://www.internationaljusticeproject.org/pdfs/atkinsUSSCbriefRobLee.pdf
the first page starts at the "opinions below" section.
Also, here is another sample petition for writ of cert, this one has an intro before the "opinions below" section so the first page starts with the intro: http://www.spamsuite.com/webfm_send/410
As seen in the samples, the table of authorities is placed right after the table of contents. The entire brief is the petition for writ of certiori. best of luck
