A verbatim excerpt from the transcript should not be used if a narrative statement will suffice. When the same ruling is repeated, the brief should contain only a single ruling unless the other rulings are further illustrative of the rule which determined the action of the trial court or establish the materiality or harmfulness of the error claimed. The statement of rulings in the brief shall include appropriate references to the page or pages of the transcript. (f) A short conclusion stating the precise relief sought. (g) The text of the pertinent portions of any constitutional provision, statute, ordinance or reg- ulation at issue or on which the appellant relies.
