About the Program:
Good appeals start in the trial court.  Appellate attorneys Karen Dowd and Scott Garosshen will guide you through the murky waters of preserving issues at and before trial to tee up a successful appeal and to put down your opponent's.  From traps for the unwary to key moments to watch for and seize, you will leave with a map to take to your next trial to ensure your client's appellate rights are protected, if something goes sideways.  And to ensure you keep your well-earned verdict if everything goes right.

You Will Learn:

  • Which key moments risk waiving appellate rights and how to navigate them
  • Which types of appellate issues can be “fixed” post-judgment and how
  • What has changed in the law of appellate preservation
Who Should Attend:
This is an introductory to intermediate level seminar and accessible to all.
