Appellate tidbits

 Today's DJ has two appellate articles:

  • Appellate specialist Arezoo Jamshidi and Elizabeth Evans of Haight Brown have Bench Trials on Appeal: Top Tips for Preserving Appellate Issues. The tips are: Perfect the statement of decision; Get a court reporter to make the clearest record possible; Take the time to brief issues; and Consider retaining an appellate attorney before one is necessary.
  • This month's Exceptionally Appealing column is Putting a Contract Out On Appeals, about contractually waiving the right to appeal.
