An opening brief is the legal document filed by the appellant's attorney with the court that sets forth legal research and other information to support his or her contentions on appeal. A responding brief, on the other hand, is filed by the appellee's attorney in response to the opening brief. Sequester refers to the isolation of a jury or witnesses from outside influences during a trial, and remittitur refers to the reduction of damages awarded to a plaintiff by a judge.
