Legal Question in Business Law in California

I am a pro per plaintiff in the limited jurisdiction (less than $25,000) of the superior court. The trial is scheduled for October 16. The defendant is pro per also. I want to file a "Plaintiff's Trial Brief" prior to the trial so that the judge understands the background info and details of the case. I have seen attorneys file a trial brief prior to a trial. Although I am not an attorney, I would like to file one in pro per. Is there a deadline before the trial date to file the plaintiff's trial brief?

There is almost certainly a deadline. It should be set forth either in the local rules of the court you are in, or in a pre-trial order. You need to visit the court clerk's office and obtain copies of all pretrial rules and orders for the court you are in.
