They also read selections of their own haiku and announce the names of their fellow AHA board members. In appreciation of his work on behalf of the AHA, Michael Dylan Welch’s poems are read. The podcast closes with readings of two linked poems co-written by Michael and Garry. This podcast was hosted by Gene Larson and recorded on April 13, 2017 at the California State Library.

Reply Brief – California Appellate Courts
Legal authorities are examples from the law that help prove a legal argument to the Court of Appeal.
The Table of Authorities is created when the brief is finished and all the page numbers are final. Each legal authority must include a page number where it can be found in the brief.
 
 Argument The argument is the most important part of the appellant’s reply brief.
There are strict rules about what the appellant can write about in the reply argument.
What to include This is what the appellant can do in the argument:

address legal issues and arguments raised in the respondent’s brief
show how the respondent did not successfully argue against the legal issues raised in the appellant’s opening brief
address new legal authorities included in the respondent’s brief
provide new legal authorities to try and prove that the respondent’s legal arguments or authorities are not correct

This is what the appellant cannot do in the argument:

raise new legal issues
repeat arguments made in the opening brief

The Court of Appeal will ignore new legal issues and repeat arguments included in the appellant’s reply brief.
How to organize the argument 
It is best to begin the argument section with an introduction. This is a short, one paragraph summary of the reply argument.
Then the appellant should reply to specific legal issues in the respondent’s brief. The appellant can choose which legal issues to address. That means the appellant does not have to reply to all of the respondent’s legal arguments. The appellant should focus on legal issues that are related to their argument for appeal.
The appellant’s reply argument needs to:

address the respondent’s issues or arguments one at a time
list each issue or argument under a separate heading or title
create a title for each issue or argument that is short and summarizes the appellant’s point
list the legal issues in the same order as they are listed in the respondent’s brief
include a statement of law for each issue or argument to show why the respondent is wrong

Remember, the appellant should not introduce new legal issues or repeat legal arguments here that are already discussed in the opening brief.
Referencing the record on appeal
Accessing the CHRIS Inventory
Product includes records and reports as requested on the Data Request Form. Certain records, such as for archaeological sites, are restricted from disclosure under federal and state laws, thus researchers must meet access requirements to obtain this data.
Specific to a Memorandum of Agreement or Subscription, including agreements with Native American Tribes such as under the THPO-Tribe Access Policy. For additional information, contact the appropriate IC.

Limited information about built environment resources is available through the Built Environment Resource Directory (BERD). Note: Information in the BERD is not comprehensive, and absence of resources listed in a search area does not mean there are no historical resources present, rather it likely means that the OHP does not yet have a record of those resources.

How to Access the Inventory
Non-Confidential: Individuals requesting a non-confidential search should contact the relevant IC to arrange for a records search. Minimum fees are $150, unless another agreement is in place. Provide PDFs of maps and aerial photographs, with GIS spatial data if available, for the area to be searched, as well as a project description and the reason for the request (e.g., a City or County is requiring it, or there is federal involvement).
Confidential: Individuals requesting confidential data must have an Access and Use Agreement on file (see instructions below). To obtain data for a specific study area, researchers must complete a Data Request Form (LINK to fillable PDF) that references the approved Access and Use Agreement. Provide PDFs of maps and aerial photographs, with GIS spatial data if available, for the area to be searched.
Note: Authorized users must meet, at a minimum, either the Secretary of the Interior's Professional Qualifications Standards, the California State Personnel Board Specification for State Historian II or Associate State Archaeologist, or meets the California Business and Professions Code requirements for a state licensed Landscape Architect, plus additional experience requirements stipulated by the State Historical Resources Commission on July 31, 2009.
Instructions for Completing the CHRIS Access and Use Agreement Form
To establish an Agreement, download and fill out the CHRIS Access and Use Agreement. Individuals seeking access under an existing Agreement (e.g., employees of a consulting company), must complete and sign an Authorized User Form and a Statement of Qualifications, and attach a resume or curriculum vitae in PDF format.

Appellant’s Opening Brief – California Appellate Courts
A judge should be able to get a good overview of the case by reading the Table of Contents.
 
 Table of Authorities The Table of Authorities is a list of all the legal authorities or precedents that the appellant discusses in the brief. Legal authorities are examples from the law that help prove a legal argument to the Court of Appeal. The appellant should focus on finding legal authorities that support an argument against the trial court’s decision.
Legal authorities may be found on the internet or at a law library. A librarian can help the respondent find legal authorities in the area of law that the case involves.
The Table of Authorities is created when the brief is finished and all the page numbers are final. Each legal authority must include a page number where it can be found in the brief. 
 
 Statement of the Case The Statement of the Case tells the “procedural facts” of the case. Procedural facts are facts relating to the court process. The Statement of the Case lists procedural facts in chronological order from when the complaint was filed to when the judgment was entered.
Every procedural fact in the brief must include:

the date when a procedural fact happened
a reference to the source and page number where the procedural fact can be found in the record on appeal

Here is a list of procedural facts to include in the Statement of the Case:

filing of the complaint
who sued whom and for what
rulings on any motions or hearings related to issues the appellant is asking the Court of Appeal to review
a description of orders related to issues the appellant is asking the Court of Appeal to review
the judgment entered
damages awarded

 
 Statement of Appealability The Statement of Appealability is often only one sentence. Here the appellant tells the court why the case is appealable. There are basically three options:

there is a judgment or order of dismissal (after demurrer or other motion) and the case is finished
there is an order (usually this order comes after the judgment, or after a hearing in a family law or probate case)
there is a nonfinal judgment

If appealing an order or nonfinal ruling, the appellant must state the statute that gives them the right to appeal.

Alegato oral en apelaciones civiles | California Courts | Self Help Guide
Si su caso está en la Corte de Apelaciones, tendrá hasta 30 minutos para presentar su alegato (a menos que la corte le dé más o menos tiempo).
No está obligado a participar en el alegato oral si no quiere. Puede decirle a la corte de apelaciones que quiere renunciar al alegato oral. 
Para obtener más información sobre el alegato oral en la división de apelaciones (apelaciones civiles limitadas), vea la regla 8.885 de las Reglas de la corte de California.
Para obtener más información sobre el alegato oral en la Corte de Apelaciones (apelaciones civiles ilimitadas), vea la regla 8.256 de las Reglas de la corte de California.
Decida si quiere tener un alegato oral
Cuando decida si va a participar en el alegato oral, recuerde que los jueces ya habrán leído los escritos, por lo que no es necesario que lea su escrito a los jueces. Si todo lo que quiere alegar está en el escrito, entonces debería pensar en no participar en (renunciar al) alegato oral.
Si quiere presentar un alegato oral, prepárese y sea flexible —los jueces pueden interrumpirle (y también a la otra parte) para hacerle preguntas sobre su caso y sobre las leyes y otros casos que haya citado o debería haber citado en su escrito—.
El hecho de que presente un alegato oral sobre un caso no afecta el tiempo que lleva obtener su decisión. Eso no demorará su caso.
