8.4.3 PARTIES TO THE PROCEEDING

Appellate briefs may require a separate listing of “parties to the proceeding.” In many cases, all of the parties to the proceedings have been listed in the caption on the cover page of the brief.

In some cases, however, the parties are too numerous to list on the cover page, or the parties have changed since the decision of the case below. In either of these situations, Supreme Court Rule 24.1(b) requires you to include a separate page labeled “Parties to the Proceeding,” which lists all parties (other than those on the cover sheet) who were parties to the proceeding in the court whose judgment is under review. The Miller v. Albright brief in Appendix C contains an example of this requirement. If any of the parties is a company with parent companies or nonwholly owned subsidiaries, you may need to add corporate disclosure information about that company here. Supreme Court Rule 29.6 describes corporate disclosure requirements.
