pare a brief, which specifies the errors upon which he relies for re- 
versal and the reasons and authorities supporting his contentions; and 
furnish the required number of copies of it to the court and to Lawyer. 
(5) In some jurisdictions see to it that the case is properly put upon the 
calendar of the higher court for argument, and notify Lawyer of it. 
Lawyer will prepare a brief in opposition and furnish copies of it to 
Andrew and to the court. At the appointed time Andrew and Lawyer 
will appear before the higher court and present their oral arguments. 
The court will take the case under advisement and later render its de- 
cision. A record will be made of all the proceedings in the higher court, 
and a portion of that record including the court’s opinion will usually 
be printed in the official reports of the court.
