Brief
- a document submitted to the court explaining one side’s position.
Application in Divorce
In
uncontested divorce
, no briefs are submitted to the court. A brief will allow a judge to familiarize himself or herself with the case and the unresolved issues at hand. This will allow for the court time to be reduced, with a limited amount of time being devoted to each side setting the stage.
