Presented by the Connecticut Bar Institute
About the Program
Appellate Procedure is its own world. Whether you find yourself the begrudging appellee after a clear-cut victory for your client or the intrepid appellant seeking to right wrongs and make new law, it helps to have a firm grasp of the tools and traps you will encounter along the way. This seminar walks you through that journey—from pre-appeal motions, to appellate tactics, all the way to remand after the appeal’s end. You will leave with an overview of how to excel in the Appellate and Supreme Court.
You Will Learn
- When and how to appeal
- About the scope and nature of appellate motion practice
- About the procedural side of briefing and oral argument
Who Should Attend
This is an introductory seminar and accessible to all. That said, we will dive in fairly deep and cover recent changes to the Rules of Appellate Procedure—including mandatory e-briefing starting October 1, 2021—and case law with a detailed materials packet.
