Legal Briefs

Legal Briefs

"Legal Briefs" is an interactive television program aired on CablePulse24 and CourtTV Canada, hosted by Lorne Honickman, a lawyer and journalist, as he discusses the ins & outs of the Canadian legal system and provides free legal advice.

Legal briefs also refer to the research filed by an attorney or by a party to a court. The research points out the legal issue that is being raised, what the law or rule of law says about the issue, how the law should be applied, and the conclusion of the information provided. A legal brief is a written statement submitted in a trial or appellate proceeding that explains one party's side.
