Effective Appellate Advocacy (Recorded)

The government on appeal

Litigating an appeal can be challenging, especially for attorneys who don’t regularly practice in the appellate courts. From intricate procedural requirements to the heightened standards of review, knowing how to identify potential pitfalls and avoid common errors is crucial to protecting your client’s interests. But understanding the “dos and don’ts” and knowing where the traps for the unwary may be lurking is half the battle.

This seminar brings together the clerk of the Supreme Judicial Court, an assistant clerk of the Appeals Court, and an experienced appellate attorney to help you identify those potential problem areas and increase the likelihood that your client will get a favorable result.
