SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Oregon appellate filings must satisfy detailed ORAP format requirements, and any mistake in fonts, margins, word counts, or section ordering can delay acceptance or trigger rejection. This Skill turns that complexity into a deterministic validation flow so litigants and their teams can confirm compliance before submitting briefs, notices of appeal, or mandamus petitions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Comprehensive ORAP validation: The bundled validator reviews font sizes, margins, spacing, page numbering, word counts, required sections, cover pages, certificates, and filing-type specifics for briefs, notices of appeal, and mandamus petitions.
  • Checklist-driven guidance: Built-in checklists and the ORAP reference document document every rule so you can spot missing assignments of error, preservation statements, record citations, and service proofs in your draft.
  • Use case: When preparing an Oregon Court of Appeals opening brief, notice of appeal, or mandamus petition, run the validation flow to highlight formatting defects, word count gaps, and missing certificates while referencing the curated ORAP rules and contacts.

Quick Start

Run the validator script with the filing path and a specified filing type to confirm ORAP compliance before submission.
