Hoe many times did you turn in your homework early?
Uh...several

Always on-time or early. I was a good student
As soon as one side or another submits....doesn't the other side have access to it to form their rebuttal? Submitting early just gives the other side more time. Or am I all wrong?
Pretty much. But the state AG's office is busy with lots of items at any time. I cannot imagine much of anything getting done "early", regardless of topic.
The only question I have is whether we see this today or tomorrow. Depends on how it is filed and when.
all that logic about "they have a lot of work to do so they usually take all the time to do it" just doesn't make sense.
I used to always be on E and have to constantly stop for gas to put a few gallons in, only to be on E again tomorrow. My reasoning was "It costs too much to fill it up". My grandfather told me, "It costs the same amount of money to keep your tank full as it does to keep it empty".
Filing and service is done electronically The filing is timely if done before midnight. Sometimes late night filings are done just to finish it, get all the approvals, pull the tables and put it together. The grunt work associated with any filing of this size The rule applies in the law: the work expands to fill all the time available to do it.
It's fun to speculate. Guesstimate: 3-6 months after the last brief is filed. Closer to 3 than to 6. The Fourth is faster than most circuits.
So a good metaphor might be that the states filing is a gas that expands to fill its container? I'll let you pick which gas.
Is the length of time from the last briefs to the time oral arguments are held because of a busy schedule at the CA?
I guess what I mean is why does it take 3 to 6 months from the time they read the briefs to when they next hear about the case?
Just how big are these permits?
A peep show is a human right, we need to fight this!
Ugh, can't wait for the 19th. I wanna see what the state feels is their grounds for an appeal.
(Apparently they're gonna try to fight the 14th amendment? Now the the 2nd is a recognized right, how could they possibly succeed?)
I know it has been said before.
But you guys are great, esqappellate Patrick and Krucam.
Thank you.
About the size of a for sale sign that you would see by the curb of a house for sale.
"The court discourages motions for extension of time and grants extensions of the briefing schedule only in extraordinary circumstances upon a showing of good cause"
So...
If Gansler, et al want to tapdance, they'll have to :::ahem::: show G&S???
When the briefs are finished and all filed, they are distributed to a panel chosen at random. Each of the judges on that panel then has to read them along with all the rest of the briefs assigned to that judge. Judges probably read literally thousands of briefs on hundreds of cases each year along with reviewing the precedent cited by the parties and their own research in each case. Law clerks (best and the brightest recent law school grads), read the briefs too and prepare bench memos. Some (a relative few) briefs are good and a pleasure to read. Many are crap. The court then has to assign an oral argument date. The court does not sit every day, or even every week so there is a continuous line of cases awaiting an oral argument slot. Each judge has to be prepared for oral argument and most if not all reach a tentative decision on the case after reading the briefs. After argument each day, the panel will sit and take a vote on each case and an opinion will be assigned. That vote may change as drafts of the opinion are circulated along with drafts of dissents or concurrences (if any). This is an important case. This will take awhile.
So when we get it, will it look like this?
