Sorry, that's quite right. I should have said "through an attorney" to avoid the possible interpretation that you could personally write and file a brief.

That rule is stricter than other Supreme Court rules related to filings by parties. If you're a natural person and not a corporation, you can file pro se pleadings before the Supreme Court in your own cases. Just not in other people's cases.



Yes, that's how I interpreted it, but I thought I should point it out to avoid confusion. I also thought I remembered this being a fairly recent rules change, so there's that too.
