(1) TIME FOR BRIEFS. In contested cases, parties shall indicate on the record after the close of testimony at the hearing whether they desire to file briefs. The administrative law judge may establish a schedule for the filing of briefs. The party or parties having the burden of proof shall file the first brief. Other parties may then file response briefs, which may be replied to. In the alternative, the administrative law judge may direct that briefs of all parties be filed simultaneously.(2) NUMBER. Unless otherwise provided for by the administrative law judge, one copy of all briefs shall be filed with the division of hearings and appeals together with a certification showing when and upon whom copies have been served. Briefs which contain a summary of evidence or facts relied upon shall include reference to specific portions of the record containing the evidence.(3) EFFECT OF EARLY FILING. The filing of briefs in less time than allowed does not change the due dates for the remaining briefs.Wis. Admin. Code Department of Natural Resources NR 2.18
