In an appellate brief do the citations to cases have to contain all the reporters or just the official rptr?

I'm citing both Federal Court of Appeals cases and Supreme court casesIn an appellate brief do the citations to cases have to contain all the reporters or just the official rptr?
It depends on the rules of the particular court in which you're filing the brief.





That's not helpful but it's the truth.In an appellate brief do the citations to cases have to contain all the reporters or just the official rptr?
It depends on which court the brief is for (federal cases are cited in both state and federal cases) but generally parallel citations aren't required, and the rule of thumb is the oldest official reporter (U.S. for Supreme Court, F., F2d, F3d for courts of appeal).
It depends on the rules for the particular court. Some require parallel citations; some do not.
