Booklet 3: Special Note Concerning Types of Briefs

In legal writing, the word “brief” is used for two different types of documents.

Type 1: A Case Brief.

Case briefs are documents that summarize a single case. These documents are used for a number of purposes, but they are never filed with courts in the course of litigation. These briefs are informative in nature.

Type 2: A Court Brief

Also called a Memorandum, a court brief is a document arguing a legal position taken by one party in a case presently pending before the court. These documents are filed with the court and become part of the formal legal record of the case. These briefs are persuasive in nature.

This booklet deals with the first kind of brief, the case brief that is not filed with a court.
