Description: Although appellate practice in Maryland’s and Virginia’s courts share similarities with federal appellate procedures and those of the D.C. Court of Appeals, important differences can catch even experienced practitioners off guard. This practical, informative class is designed for attorneys familiar with appellate practice who occasionally handle appeals in Annapolis or Richmond and want to sharpen their knowledge of local nuances.
Led by seasoned appellate practitioners, this session offers valuable insights into civil, criminal, and family law appeals. The following are among the key topics the class covers:
- How early strategic choices can dramatically affect the timeline of an appeal.
- Maryland’s distinctive approach to statutory construction
- Key differences between federal and Maryland rules on summary judgment rulings
- Virginia’s use of “Assignments of Error” rather than “Issues Presented”
- Important recent changes to Virginia’s appellate jurisdiction
- The unusual features – and unwritten rules – of Maryland and Virginia certiorari practice
- Rules and policies governing citation to unreported opinions
- Unique timing considerations and procedures for filing amicus briefs in Maryland and Virginia
Whether you regularly handle appeals in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia – or simply want to better understand the distinctive features of these regional courts – this class is essential for your appellate practice toolkit.
