Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Appellee filed its responding brief yesterday. Words that refer to pleadings or documents should be capitalized only if the exact title is used. Unless required under another grammatical rule, the following terms should not be capitalized: appellant, appellee, defendant, movant, petitioner, plaintiff, defendant, and respondent. Answer B is the correct choice because it improperly capitalizes "Appellee." Answer A is not the correct choice because "Court" is a correctly capitalized reference to a specific court, and "defendant" is not capitalized. Answer C is not the correct choice because "petitioner" and "respondent" are not capitalized. Answer D is not the correct choice because neither "appellant" nor "lower court" are capitalized.
