| A brief is a written argument that a lawyer (or party to a case) submits to a court to persuade that court to rule in favor of his client’s position. A brief must identify the legal issues, present the facts and request that a court follow a particular course of action, such as granting a motion during trial or reversing a lower court’s decision on appeal. For a court to accept a brief, it must also meet the required procedural criteria. |
