California Academy of Appellate Lawyers Announces Inaugural Fellowship Program Year and New Fellows

The California Academy of Appellate Lawyers is pleased to announce that it has launched the inaugural year of its Fellowship Program. The program will allow up to four lawyers a year who are budding appellate practitioners to enhance their skills in the appellate arena through participation in Academy’s educational and social programs. This year’s fellows are:

·         Dominika Anna Campbell of Los Angeles Dependency Lawyers in Los Angeles;

·         Shandyn H. Pierce of Hanson Bridgett in San Francisco;

·         Jason Siu of Horvitz & Levy, LLP, in San Francisco; and

·         Kian Tamaddoni of Benedon & Serlin, LLP, in Woodland Hills.

Founded in 1972, the Academy is the nation’s oldest lawyers’ organization dedicated to appellate practice. Our members are California lawyers with substantial appellate experience, who are elected to membership after rigorous scrutiny of their reputation, character, and appellate advocacy skills. Academy members are very frequently counsel of record in the most complex and highest-impact cases before the California Supreme Court, the California Court of Appeal, and federal appellate courts.
