GARY MICHAEL SMITH, ESQ.

Welcome to the intro screen to
Barnett vs. Barnett,
1CA-CV 98-0290.

To date, Arizona has no rule or legal provision for electronic filing or electronic publication of appellate briefs.  As such, this is my laboratory, and what you are about to enter is purely my creation.  My hope is that the Court Justices will come to this site and see how much judicial resource can be saved by moving to the electronic medium.I caution that although having been filed with the Court of Appeals, the brief and case links are NOT to be construed as legal advice to you.  If you have legal questions, go hire an attorney.  Reliance upon anything contained on this site is at your own peril.Without further ado, click here to go to the Response Brief Cover Page.One final note, to my knowledge, this is the first appellate brief to be annotated and placed on-line in Arizona.  Assuming I am right, you may not only be looking at a piece of the future, but a piece of living history as well. P.S. - In January of 1999, Division One of the Court of Appeals rendered a  Memorandum Decision in my client's favor.
