An e-mail circulated late last month passing along that Judge Connolly set forth some of his filing preferences at a hearing. I haven't seen the transcript, but I understand he asked local counsel to get the word out (it wouldn't be the first time).

Here is what I heard:

  • When exhibits are filed with a document, he prefers that they be in separate PDFs, not all in one PDF. Note that the judges vary on this.
  • When courtesy copies are sent to the Court, the D.I. number should be written on each document.
  • Thought should be given to how exhibits are presented, i.e. minuscripts are hard to read.

It's always good to know chambers' preferences. I've heard that Judge Noreika's chambers prefers all exhibits in a single combined PDF. If I hear of any others, I'll pass them along too.
