New Massachusetts Civil Procedure Rules -- Must Include E-Mail Address on All Pleadings and on Appellate Court Briefs

Three Massachusetts court rules have been amended, effective May 1, 2010.  Amended Mass. Rule of Appellate Procedure 20 requires attorneys to include their e-mail address, if any, on the front cover of briefs and appendices.  Amended Mass. Rule of Civil procedure 11 requires attorneys and unrepresented parties to include their e-mail address, if any, on pleadings.  And Amended Mass Rule of Civil Procedure 10 adds a provision to allow the text of a document to appear on both sides of a page.
