Reply Brief – California Appellate Courts
So the law gives the appellant an opportunity to write a second brief to address the arguments made in the respondent’s brief. This is because the appellant has the burden of showing the Court of Appeal that the trial court made a mistake.
The appellant cannot make new legal arguments in the reply brief, so there is nothing new in the reply brief that the respondent needs to address.
 
 Where can I get help writing my brief? Form APP-001 has full instructions on appeal procedures, including what needs to be in a brief.
Each Court of Appeal has self-help resources online. You can also contact your local Court of Appeal to see if they have a self-help center at the court.
You can visit a law library to do legal research.
The California Courts website has a lot of information about lawyers and legal help.
If you need help finding a lawyer, the California Bar Association website can connect you to a lawyer referral service in your area.
 
 Can I include new information or new evidence in my brief? No. An appeal is not a new trial. You cannot introduce new information, new evidence, or new witnesses during the appeal process. The Court of Appeal will only consider what’s included in the record on appeal.
 
 Can I include confidential information in my brief? No. Briefs are generally filed publicly, and publicly filed documents must not disclose confidential or sealed material.
If you need to refer to confidential or sealed material in your brief, please carefully review the procedure described here in CRC 8.46(f) and CRC 8.47.
 
 How do I reference sources from the record on appeal? For every event or fact about the case that you include in your brief, you must provide an exact location and a page number where the court can find it in the record on appeal.
Here’s a list of places information can be found in the record on appeal:

Appellant’s appendix—AA
Appellant’s opening brief—AOB
Appellant’s reply appendix—ARA
Appellant’s reply brief—ARB
Augmented clerk’s transcript—Aug CT

How to Avoid Problems

How to Avoid Problems with Your Attorney 

You can help avoid problems with your lawyer by taking these steps:  

Make sure you are working with a licensed lawyer. Lawyers must be licensed to practice law in California, and every licensed California lawyer has a State Bar number. Ask your lawyer for their State Bar number.  
Use the Attorney Search feature on this website to verify that the attorney is licensed and to check for any disciplinary history.
Understand exactly what your lawyer will be doing for you and what it will cost, and get your fee agreement in writing. 
Provide your attorney with all information related to your case, even information you think may be unimportant. This includes your current address and contact information.
Provide your lawyer with all documents related to your case. Keep copies for your records.
Ask the lawyer to estimate how long your case will take. Be aware, however, that unexpected developments can delay the process.
Ask your lawyer to keep you updated on your case. You might ask the lawyer to send you copies of letters and any official documents filed in court as well.
If you do not agree with your lawyer’s advice, let them know, and listen to their explanation.
 If you are not satisfied with the answers, ask another lawyer for a second opinion. You may also consider hiring another lawyer, although this may delay the resolution of your case.
