The Trial and Appellate Track
Presented by the Appellate Advocacy Section
About the Program
Join an appellate judge and two appellate attorneys for a candid discussion on what really works (and what does not) when it comes to preserving issues for appeal.
Issue preservation can make or break an appeal—and it starts long before the notice of appeal is filed. In this session, an appellate judge and two appellate practitioners share practical strategies trial attorneys can use to ensure that objections, rulings, and records are preserved for meaningful review. Through real examples and common pitfalls, the panel will highlight how small choices at trial can have big consequences on appeal—and how to protect your record from start to finish.
