Record on Appeal. The function of the appellate court is limited to a review of the trial record sent up from the lower court and the briefs filed by the appellant and appellee. Amicus Curiae briefs, if permitted by the appellate court, also become part of the record on appeal.
The important thing to remember here is that dinner is considered by some to be the most important meal of the day. Supper, on the other hand, is something that is had only in the evening. And unlike dinner, it is usually a very light meal. One can have it early in the evening or just before going to bed. Americans tend to use the word supper quite often. It is usually a meal eaten at home with members of the family. When you invite someone to have a meal with you in the evening, you usually ask him/her to have dinner with you, not supper. The Prime Minister of India hosts dinners and not suppers.
By the 20th century, Americans adopted the use of the word supper to refer to a lighter evening meal shared by the family. It derives from the Middle English soper, meaning a light evening meal when dinner is served at midday. This meal often consisted of leftovers from dinner.
