(a) Scope. This rule governs the form of all papers filed in the appellate courts except transcripts (which are governed by Rule 212(b)), transcripts (which are governed by Rule 210(b)) and excerpts of record (which are governed by Rule 210(c)). Briefs are governed by subparagraphs (b)(1)—(5) and paragraph (c) of this rule and by Rule 212(b).
(b) Form in General. Except as provided in subsection (a), all documents presented for filing with the clerk must be:
(1) on 8-1/2 x 11 inches opaque, unglazed white paper of good quality and at least sixteen pound weight.
(2) in clear and legible black typeface or hand-printing in black ink;
(3) double-spaced (line-spacing "2" if proportionally spaced typeface is used), except that headings and footnotes must be single-spaced and quotations of more than two lines must be single-spaced and indented at least one-half inch on both sides;
(4) if longer than one page, numbered consecutively at the bottom center of each page;
(5) no more than 6-1/2 x 9-1/2 inches of printed or written matter on a page;
(6) printed or written on one side of the paper; and
(7) two-hole punched at the center of the top of each page.
(c) Typeface. (1) The text of documents, including headings and footnotes, must be at least
(A) 12 point (10 monospaced characters per inch) Courier, or substantially similar monospaced text style;
(B) 13 point (proportionally spaced) Times New Roman, Garamond, CG Times, New Century Schoolbook, or substantially similar serifed, roman text style; or
(C) 12.5 point (proportionally spaced) Arial, Helvetica, Univers, or substantially similar non-serifed text style.

(d) Exhibits. Exhibits to motions, petitions and other documents must be clear and legible and must comply with subparagraph (b)(1) of this rule. Exhibits that do not comply with subparagraph (b)(1) must be reduced if necessary and copied onto paper of the required size and quality. Each page of an exhibit must be numbered progressively and marked with the number or letter of the exhibit (e.g., Ex. A, p. 1). Exhibits must be permanently attached to the principal document in a manner that allows them to be easily accessible and readable without detaching them from the principal document.
(e) Information To Be Placed on First Page. The first page of each paper or document must be prepared in conformity with Civil Rule 76(e), except that the name of the law firm or organization with whom an attorney is affiliated and the attorney's bar number must also be shown. Alternatively, the bar number must be shown on the signature page. In criminal cases, the first page must also include a certificate indicating whether the paper or document contains information that is confidential under AS 12.61.100 through 12.61.150. The administrative director shall specify the form and content of the certificate.
