See Judicial Panel Floats Rules To Save 'Appellate Rights' -- "The amendments would affect the rules for notices of appeal, filings that formally begin the appellate process. The proposed changes are meant to prevent litigants from inadvertently limiting their appeals to only one order, when perhaps they also meant to challenge others that led to final judgment."
The DJ's Top 40 Under 40 report includes Reed Smith Appellate Lawyer Kasey Curtis, a former 9th Circuit clerk to Judge Rawlinson.
Also noted was Alyssa Bell of Cohen Williams LLP, in Los Angeles, who does federal criminal appeals.
