In addition to other revisions of the rules, please take special note of the following revisions to the Eleventh Circuit Rules, effective April 1, 2025. 

Paper Copies
Parties will no longer submit paper copies of briefs and appendices at the time those documents are filed. See 11th Cir. R. 30-1(d) & 31-3. Instead, at the conclusion of briefing, the clerk will send a notice directing each party to submit the specified number of paper copies of briefs and appendices within seven days of the date of the notice. If the case is classed for oral argument, the clerk will send an additional notice directing each party to submit the specified number of paper copies of briefs and appendices within seven days of the date of the notice. Paper copies of briefs and appendices must not be submitted until the clerk’s notice(s) is received. If required paper copies of briefs or appendices were submitted in accordance with the previous versions of 11th Cir. R. 30-1(d) and 31-3, parties are not required to resubmit those paper copies at the conclusion of briefing. 

The paper copies of briefs submitted by ECF filers must include the ECF docketing header from the electronically filed version of the brief. ECF filers also are encouraged to have the ECF docketing header from the electronically filed version of the appendix on the cover page for the paper copies of the appendix. 

Documents Under Seal 
ECF filers will be required to file sealed documents through ECF. See 11th Cir. R. 25-3(h). A step-by-step guide for ECF filers to assist them in filing sealed documents is available on the Court’s website: How to Electronically File a Sealed Document.
