Three weeks ago, the Maryland Supreme Court dropped a brief-writing bombshell by announcing that, for the first time in 26 years, it is revising the list of approved fonts. The change was prompted by this letter from Joe Dudek, but also follows multiple instances of font commentary here on the Maryland Appellate Blog: Chris Mincher took a walk through the Court’s typography requirements, including fonts, way back in 2014, and former Blog editor John Grimm offered his take on the Court’s font choices more recently in 2020.

To mark this milestone, we’ve invited Joe (specially assigned) and John (recalled) to join Chris for a special edition of our “Appellate Panel” digital roundtable discussions.
