How do I set the format for a U.S. Supreme Court Petition? Angelito 12/30/2008 4:21:01 PM The Court requires petitions presented on paper 6 1/8" x 9 1/4" inches. How do I set the document format to these specific requirements?

You merely set the margins in Word so the output fits the margins specified in the same requirements. The law firm has typists who are skilled at formatting legal documents, so you should rely on them to take care of it.

I did prepare such a document once, and it is no different from any other odd-sized document that has to be commercially printed; and in fact that is the case with petitions (or briefs, in this case) that are to be submitted to the USSC. You just format the document on regular-sized paper (adjusting the margins as required) and take it to the printer as camera-ready copy (or send it as a PDF) and let the printer take care of the rest. A quick Google search turns up http://www.brescias.com/legal_us_supr.html, which is a printing service that handles this sort of thing. -- Suzanne S.
