The following brief statuses are used in the appellate case management system:
| Due | The status of a brief is "due" as long as the due date has not been passed or the brief was not received early. |
| Past | A brief’s status is automatically set to "past" if it is not received by the due date. |
| 212 Pending | The status of a brief automatically becomes "212 Pending" when it is received. |
| 212 Failed | The status of a brief is automatically set to "212 Failed" if it fails a Rule 212 check. |
| Lodged | The user should set a brief’s status to lodged only if the 212 check is successfully completed, but a motion to allow a later filed brief has not yet been ruled upon. |
| Printing Due | The status of a brief after a 212 check has been successfully completed will automatically be set to "Printing Due." (The user should override to "lodged" if a motion is pending.) |
| Complete | The status should be set to "Complete" after the printed briefs are delivered. |
| Rejected | The status should be set to "Rejected" if the brief is so deficient that it is rejected or it is so late that it is not allowed. |
