Reviewing Board DMS tips

Find out how to best prepare your documents for DMS at the Reviewing Board level.

Motions

Motions should be properly formatted, and filed as a PDF attachment to an email. The cover letter for a motion should be drafted on your letterhead template and submitted as a PDF file.

Briefs

Briefs should be submitted only when you have been informed by the Reviewing Board of the briefing schedule.

Briefs should be filed electronically. However, pursuant to 452 CMR, you should still submit 4 hard copies of the brief to the Reviewing Board.

If you submit the brief electronically, it is not necessary to prepare a bar-coded cover sheet when you submit the hard copies pursuant to the regulations. You only need to prepare a bar-coded cover sheet when you don't submit your brief electronically.
