In their briefs and oral arguments counsel should minimize references to parties by such designations as “appellant” and “appellee.” It promotes clarity to use the designations used in the trial court, or the actual names of the parties, or descriptive terms such as “employer,” “owner,” “guest,” “injured person,” “husband,” etc.
