Taking a case to the Appellate Division is a different kind of practice, with its own rules, deadlines and expectations. Register today for Appellate Practice Essentials: Key Strategies to Handle Appeals With Confidence, and learn what matters most from the judges and court staff who see appeals every day.
Learn the key strategies for getting the best results for the clients you represent on appeal, including:
- What you can appeal. You'll understand final orders, when an order is appealable and what to consider before you file.
- How to write the brief. You'll learn what the court will look for and how to present your arguments clearly and persuasively.
- How to build the appendix. You'll know what belongs in it and how to assemble it correctly.
- How to handle oral argument. You'll prepare to answer the panel's questions and make your time count.
In this lunchtime webinar, you'll hear directly from two sitting Appellate Division judges, the Appellate Division Clerk's Office and experienced appellate practitioners. Whether you're filing your first appeal or refreshing your skills, you'll gain the confidence you need to navigate the Appellate Division from notice of appeal through oral argument.
