Traffic Appeals

Say you're an appellate specialist at a cocktail party, and someone starts asking you about appealing a traffic infraction... It's lame to say, "golly, I just don't know anything about that at all!" So to help with that situation Judge Gail Dekreon of the SFSC has provided in today's DJ Appeals In Traffic Infraction Cases. She starts out by directing us to Title 8, Division 2, about Superior Court Appellate Division appeals. A notice of appeal is due in 30 days after the judgment. The trial court has jurisdiction to stay the sentence pending appeal. Etc. etc.

Today's DJ also reports that Glenn Danas, "an appellate attorney known best for his high-profile victories on behalf of employees and consumers" has jointed Robins Kaplan's LA office to "bolster" the firm's "appellate arm, which is headed by former Minnesota Supreme Court Chief Justice Eric J. Magnuson."
