/briːv/ – Noun
Definition: (Scot) trát, lệnh của tòa án.
A more thorough explanation: a brief is a written document submitted to a court by a lawyer on behalf of their client. It outlines the facts of the case, the legal arguments, and the evidence that supports the client’s position. Briefs are typically used in appellate courts, where judges review a lower court’s decision, but they can also be filed in other legal proceedings.
Example: A lawyer submits a brief to the Supreme Court arguing that a new law is unconstitutional.
