The California Appellate Process Seminar

A one-day program designed for:

About the program:

This is a comprehensive overview of the appellate process involving experienced appellate specialists and key personnel from the appellate courts.

Topics include:

• Overview of the Process
• Pre-Appeal Procedures
• Filing Electronic Briefs
• Effective Brief Writing: What Works and What Doesn't
• Review by the Supreme Court
• Preparing for and Presenting Oral Arguments

Ethan Schulman will speak on the subject of "Brief Writing."
