Suppose a case regarding the wrongful conviction of a man for the murder of a woman has been appealed several times and has now been appealed to the Supreme Court. The Court has decided that this case presents an interesting conflict and has the potential to impact the rights of the accused listed in the Constitution, so it has agreed to hear the case. What should the legal teams for both parties do next to prepare?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both legal teams should write up briefs to present their arguments to the Supreme Court. The briefs will provide a detailed summary of each party's position, including legal precedent and significant legal arguments. The oral arguments come later in the proceedings, and the acceptance fee is not a relevant step in the preparation process. Amicus curiae briefs are filed by parties who are not directly involved in the case but may have a vested interest or particular expertise in the issues at hand. These types of briefs are not necessary for the legal teams for both parties in this scenario to prepare.
