Pre-Trial Brief

A pre-trial brief is a legal document submitted by parties before a trial to outline their arguments, evidence, and legal theories. The purpose of the brief is to inform the court and the opposing side of the party’s position and to narrow down the issues to be addressed at trial. The brief typically includes a statement of facts, legal arguments, and citations to relevant legal authorities. Pre-trial briefs help the court understand the parties’ positions and can facilitate settlement discussions or streamline the trial process.
