When a judge told Bob Kohn that he had to whittle his 55-page amicus brief down to 5 pages, Bob Kohn did not despair. He complied in comic book form.
With the help of his daughter’s friends, Kohn was able to not only reduce his 55-page amicus brief down to the required 5 pages, but also to comply with the court’s formatting rules (mostly). I have previously posted about the increasing usage and utility of images in briefs. Maybe comic book or graphic art briefs are the next logical step. Pictures are worth a thousand words, right?
