Description:

How do you persuade an appellate Justice to rule for you? This seminar will address how to persuade appellate judges, by thinking strategically when you write a brief or a petition for writ. About 100 pages of materials will be distributed.

The State Bar has approved this program for three credits of specialization in appellate practice. Lawyers not seeking specialization credits will receive three regular CLE credits.

This program is not like other appeals programs. It’s about strategy, not form. We won’t spend time going through the rules and the usual ways of doing things. Instead, we’ll focus on one question: what works?

On the panel will be some retired appellate Justices – who are usually much more candid than sitting Justices about what kinds of presentations and arguments got them to change their minds in specific cases.

The panel will include retired Justices Bill Stein and Mike Hanlon – who each served on the First District Court of Appeal – and retired Justice Richard McAdams, who served on the Sixth District Court of Appeal.

Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2011, 5:30 p.m. to 9:15 p.m.
