How have the courts treated the evidence in appellant's defence?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Estate and Guardianship of Turk, In re, 15 Cal.Rptr. 256, 194 Cal.App.2d 736 (Cal. App. 1961):

Appellant's brief contains numerous transcript citations but they point invariably to the testimony of appellant or to cross-examination of respondent. No genuine effort has been made to 'set forth in his brief all material evidence upon the point, not merely his own proofs.' As in Davis v. Lucas, supra, '[r]espondent's counsel has assembled enough of the testimony in [her] brief to show at least a substantial conflict in the evidence.' Hence we do not make an independent search of the record as the only real object of same would be a re-weighing of the proofs.
