An Alaska Trial Brief is a document that outlines the legal argument and facts of a case that will be presented in court. It is a formal written document containing the facts, legal issues, and arguments in a case. It is submitted to the court to explain each side's position and to provide the court with the necessary information to make an informed decision. There are two types of Alaska Trial Briefs: Opening and Closing Briefs. An Opening Brief is a summary of the facts and legal arguments that will be presented in the trial. A Closing Brief is a response to the opposing party’s Opening Brief and summarizes the facts and legal arguments that will be presented in the trial.
