6. Respondent’s Brief
The written briefs are the most important part of an appeal. That’s because there is no new trial during an appeal. So the Court of Appeal makes a decision based on what they read in the written briefs, in the record on appeal, and in legal research.
Each party writes a brief to tell the Court of Appeal why they should win the appeal. A brief must include facts about the trial court case and examples from the law. Writing a brief can be hard and it can take a lot of time.
The respondent – who won in the trial court – writes only one brief. The respondent’s brief argues that the trial court’s decision was correct. Even if the trial court made a legal mistake, the respondent’s brief may argue that the mistake did not impact the judgment.
The respondent’s brief is optional. But if the respondent does not write a brief, the respondent gives up the opportunity to present their argument to the Court of Appeal.
Here’s an overview of what to expect in this step of the appeal process and how to write a respondent’s brief.

Timeline of a Respondent’s Brief

Designating the Record – California Appellate Courts
This list includes names and dates for all the evidence, documents, and motions filed in the trial court.
The register of actions can be very helpful in designating materials for the record on appeal. That’s because the register of actions includes the information you need to provide the trial court when you make a list of things to include in the record on appeal. Also, it takes less time to read through the register of actions than it takes to read through the whole trial court file.
The register of actions is available in the trial court case file. Any party to the case can access the case file at the trial court. The register of actions may also be available online if the trial court has a public download service.
 
 Can I add new exhibits, documents, or testimony to the record on appeal? No. You can only include exhibits, documents, and testimony that are part of the trial court record. You cannot include new information, new evidence, or new witnesses in the record on appeal.
 
 Can I include administrative proceedings in the record on appeal? You can only include administrative proceedings if the administrative record was previously lodged with the trial court. An administrative record can include written items provided at the administrative hearing. It can also as include the transcribed oral proceedings that took place during the administrative hearing. Normally there is not a jury at an administrative hearing.
There are two types of administrative proceedings that can be included in the record on appeal: written and oral. An example of a written administrative proceeding is the documents that were submitted as evidence in support for or against what the administrative hearing was about. An example of an oral administrative proceeding is a transcript of what was said at an administrative hearing such as questions to or from a party, or a ruling on a decision.
Here are some examples of administrative hearings:

a hearing at a DMV to revoke a person’s driver’s license
a hearing of a governing body before a disciplinary board to revoke or suspend a particular license – for example, a medical, real estate, teaching, or contractor license
a hearing of a governmental body or department regarding wrongful termination, harassment, worker’s compensation, or discontinuation of certain benefits
