Rule 16.50 - HYPERLINKS AND BOOKMARKS IN eFILED BRIEFS(1) An eFiled document may contain one or more hyperlinks to other parts of the same document or hyperlinks to a location outside of the document that contains a source document for a citation.(a) When a party eFiles a brief or other memorandum that is accompanied by excerpts of record or attachments, the party is encouraged to hyperlink citations to the relevant portions of the excerpts or attachments.(b) The functioning of a hyperlink reference is not guaranteed. The appellate courts neither endorse nor accept responsibility for any product, organization, or content at any hyperlinked site.(c) A hyperlink to cited authority does not replace standard citation format. The complete citation must be included within the text of the document. Neither a hyperlink, nor any site to which it refers, shall be considered part of the record. A hyperlink is simply a convenient mechanism for accessing material cited in an eFiled document.

The caption of a bookmark should be concise. The sections of the brief that should be bookmarked include the discussion on each assignment of error or question presented on review, or the response to any assignment of error or presented question. The sections of the excerpt of record or appendix that should be bookmarked include the judgment, order, or opinion under review and any separate findings or determinations that are part of that disposition. See Appendix 16.50 (example of electronic view of bookmarks).
