The guidance emphasizes that the competition’s Official Rules control content and formatting, including requirements to follow the latest Supreme Court Rules and A Uniform System of Citation when the AMCA Rules are silent. It also explains how to use Microsoft Word custom styles for headings, automatic Table of Contents, and optional Table of Authorities features, along with cautions about hyperlink malfunctions and maintaining bracketed placeholders correctly.","AMCA Brief Writing Competition \u000bInstructions and Template Brief\n(updated Nov. 16, 2023)\nAMCA provides this template brief to aid students in preparing their submissions for the Brief Writing Competition. AMCA cautions competitors that, in all respects, the Official Rules for the Brief Writing Competition as published on the AMCA website are controlling. The AMCA Rules contain specific requirements for content and formatting and further provide that advocates should format their briefs and citations according to the latest versions of the Rules of the Supreme Court (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.supremecourt.gov\" \u0014www.supremecourt.gov\u0015) and A Uniform System of Citation (\u0013 HYPERLINK \"http://www.legalbluebook.com\" \u0014www.legalbluebook.com\u0015) where the AMCA Rules are silent. To the extent anything in this template or AMCA’s Guide to Basic Legal Citation is inconsistent with these authoritative sources, those sources govern. Use of this template neither guarantees compliance with the Rules nor constitutes a defense to the loss of any points or to disqualification. Students must review the governing Rules independently and ensure that their final submission, whether using this template or not, is in full compliance.\nThis template brief makes use of custom styles (named “AMCA” followed by a descriptor) in Microsoft Word to create appropriately formatted headings, body text, and brief structure. The use of these styles allows the creation of an automatic Table of Contents, which may be updated by right-clicking on the table and selecting the appropriate option. Students who wish to create an automatically updated Table of Authorities are encouraged to explore \u0013 HYPERLINK \"https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/create-a-table-of-authorities-ddd126ae-52bc-4299-9558-06dd0e4fe8c0\" \u0014Microsoft Word’s features\u0015 for doing so. However, students are again reminded that the final product is solely their responsibility. Malfunctions or broken hyperlinks in an automated Table of Contents or Authorities may result in the deduction of points by scoring judges. Using AMCA’s custom styles is not a defense to the loss of points if the end result does not comply with the applicable Rules.\nThroughout this template brief, [red bracketed text] indicates places where students must replace the bracketed text with the relevant case-specific material. The template also provides commentary, explanations, and practice tips in [blue bracketed text]. AMCA recommends that students save a separate copy of this blank template containing this commentary but delete it from their working draft before beginning to write their submission. Leaving the bracketed commentary in the submitted brief may result in the loss of points. Likewise, when deleting commentary, students should be careful not to leave extra line breaks or spacing, as such formatting errors may also result in deductions.\nNo. [____-____]\nIN THE\nSupreme Court of the United States\n________________\n[Petitioner Name],\nPETITIONER,\nV.\n[Respondent Name],\nRESPONDENT.\n________________\nON WRIT OF CERTIORARI TO THE \u000b[NAME OF COURT UNDER REVIEW]\n____________________________\nBRIEF FOR [PETITIONER/RESPONDENT]\n____________________________\nQUESTIONS PRESENTED FOR REVIEW\n[The Questions Presented for Review are the certified questions appearing on the cover page of the AMCA Case Problem.
