(a) In all cases in which a writ application has been granted, except those specially assigned for argument under (c) below, the brief of the applicant or relator shall be filed not later than twenty-five days after the date that the writ is granted, and the brief of the respondent shall be filed not later than forty-five days after the date that the writ is granted. In all appeals, the brief of the appellant shall be filed not later than thirty days after the lodging of the record in this court and the brief of the appellee shall be filed not later than sixty days after the lodging of the record in this court. The briefing schedule for disciplinary proceedings will be governed by Supreme Court Rule 19, Section 11(G). In all instances, the briefs shall be accompanied by a certificate showing that a copy was delivered or mailed to the opposing counsel, or to the opposing litigant or litigants, if not represented by counsel. (b) Failure to file briefs timely in accordance with the above provision shall forfeit the right of the party, so failing, to orally argue the case before the Court. In its discretion, the Court may nonetheless allow oral argument by a party who has failed to file briefs timely. The other party or parties, if they have complied, shall be entitled to oral argument. However, all parties must file briefs in every criminal case. (c) In cases specially assigned for argument, this rule shall be complied with, if possible. But if the time between the date of fixing and argument be insufficient to render a strict compliance feasible, it shall nevertheless be the duty of counsel to deliver briefs to their opponents at the earliest time practicable.
