ITEM 5D | THE REPLY BRIEF

The Florida Rules of Appellate Procedure do not require that the appellant file a reply brief, but an appellant often should file a reply brief to respond to the arguments in the answer brief. The appellant’s reply brief, if any, is due 20 days after the answer brief and responds to the answer brief arguments. The reply brief can be no more than 15 pages long, not counting the pages necessary for the Table of Contents, Table of Citations, Certificate of Service, Certificate of Font Compliance, and the signature block for the brief's author.

The reply brief typically includes the following sections:

1. Table of Contents
2. Table of Authorities
3. Reply Argument
4. Conclusion
5. Certificate of Service
6. Certificate of Font Compliance

The reply brief does not raise new arguments. Issues that were not raised first in the initial brief are generally waived. But, if new or different arguments are raised in the answer brief, the reply brief can respond to those argument. The key is that the reply brief responds to the answer brief arguments. It does not just repeat the initial brief, nor does it raise new arguments that were not in either the initial or answer brief. Although the appellant argues in the reply brief that the appellee’s answer brief arguments are incorrect, the appellant, like the appellee, must do so respectfully and without name calling or insults.
