Description: Join us for this highly acclaimed annual class as distinguished appellate judges and attorneys discuss common issues and opportunities appellate practitioners face. While the judges discuss their perspectives and point out practice pitfalls and common mistakes attorneys make, our attorney panelists will share some of their tactics for successful brief writing and oral argument. The attorney panelists will also discuss alternate dispute resolution, legal ethics issues relating to appellate advocacy, and promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in appellate practice.
While we have designed this class primarily for those new to appellate advocacy, more experienced practitioners may find the content of interest.
