How much time does it take before an appellate court reviews the Record on Appeal?

After the Clerk of the Appellate Court mails the printed Record to both parties, the defendant has 30 days (60 days in a capital case) to file a brief, which is a written legal argument, in support of the legal errors raised in the Record. The State’s attorney then has 30 days (60 days in a capital case) to file a brief responding to the defendant’s brief. Courts may grant extensions of time, often 30 days.
