The Appellate Courts Section is pleased to offer once again the Appellate Courts Walk-Through, an afternoon at the courthouse designed to introduce practitioners to the appellate courts and appellate process. This program will provide valuable insights for all attorneys, from new practitioners interested in learning more about appeals to seasoned attorneys interested in hearing about best practices from court insiders.
The
program begins with a specially-calendared oral argument, with the chance (time
permitting) for questions and answers afterward with the Justices and attorneys
on the case.
Then
join us to hear from appellate court Justices, staff, and top appellate
practitioners about how our appellate courts function and strategies for
presenting your case effectively to the California Court of Appeal in a series
of panel discussions—
Panel
1 - Briefing skills and strategies.
Panel
2 - Your choice of either a discussion of the procedural in’s and out’s of
litigating an appeal,
or
How
an appeal or an alternative writ is adjudicated once it is sent to the
Justices’ chambers.
Panel 3 - An introduction to writs
and the writs process, including tips on getting a writ granted.
