Brief of Appellant

A Brief of Appellant is a legal document filed by a person (the appellant) who disagrees with a court's decision and is appealing for a review. It outlines the appellant’s arguments, reasons for the appeal, and any relevant laws or evidence that support their case. This document is submitted to a higher court, which will analyze the arguments and decide whether to uphold or change the original ruling. The Brief of Appellant is a key component of the appeals process, helping judges understand the appellant's perspective on the legal issues involved.
