8.5.4 TABLE OF CONTENTS
Typically, motion briefs do not need a table of contents unless they exceed a certain number of pages, which will be designated in court (or classroom) rules. Some courts seem to leave the decision to include a table of contents to the discretion of the attorney.
If a table of contents is included, it should list every element of the brief that has a title, e.g., the introduction or question(s) presented, the fact statement, the argument and its sections that are labeled with point headings, the conclusion, the certificate of service, and the appendix (if any). The table of contents should list only the first page on which each element appears. Each appellate brief in Appendix C contains a table of contents.Note that some courts allow electronically-filed documents to include hyperlinks to other portions of the same document;18if your court does, you may wish to link the items in the Table of Contents to their appropriate counterparts.
