Section 1.16. Briefs.

 

(1)   Time schedule for filing of briefs. Parties shall indicate on the record after the close of testimony at the hearing whether they desire to file briefs. The administrative law judge may establish a schedule for the filing of briefs. The party or parties having the burden of proof shall file the first brief. Other parties may subsequently file response briefs, which may be replied to. Alternatively, the administrative law judge may direct that the briefs of all parties be filed simultaneously.

(2)   Number. One copy of each brief should be filed with the division together with a statement showing upon whom copies have been served. Briefs which contain a summary of evidence or facts relied upon should include, where possible, reference to specific pages of the record containing the evidence or facts.

(3)   Effect of early filing. The filing of briefs in less time than allowed shall not change the due dates for the remaining briefs.
