An appellate brief which includes, in addition to "legal" citation and argument, substantial additional data, especially economic and sociological studies presented in statistical form, about the social setting of the case and the likely social impact of the court"s ruling. The earliest use of such briefs is attributed to Louis D. Brandeis, practicing law prior to his appointment to the Supreme Court in 1916, but he was only the most prominent user.
