Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A responding brief is a document filed by the appellee that responds to the issues raised in the appellant's brief. It allows the appellee to argue in favor of affirming the lower court's decision and to refute any arguments presented by the appellant. Sequester and deposition are not relevant to the appeals process, and an opening brief is filed by the appellant, not the appellee.
