A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay from the August 2024 webcast seminar, Appellate Practice 2024.
A favorable verdict and award are great, unless reversed on appeal. The trial skills that secured that verdict may be sufficient to prevail on appeal, but for the consistently best results, study of the specialized rules and techniques of appellate practice is critical. And what better way to learn than from appellate jurists and seasoned practitioners?
This seminar is devoted to the appellate advocacy skills every appellate lawyer—from the newest apprentice through the accomplished master—needs to know. The program begins with a focus on the basics of appellate advocacy, introducing the mechanics of the appellate process. It then dives into more advanced insights into handling appeals, how to avoid the most common pitfalls in appellate courts and offers the all-important perspective of appellate jurists.
BONUS: Get the electronic version of the 2023 Virginia CLE® publication Appellate Practice—Virginia and Federal Courts, a $324 value, included in the seminar registration fee.
