Constitutional Issues and the New President: What Will The Supreme Court Do?

The Beverly Hills Bar Assn Societas Reverenda Committee Dinner Program
Presents Constitutional Issues and the New President: What Will The Supreme Court Do? with panelists Susan Estrich, John Eastman and Rex Heinke, on Wednesday, Jan. 18, 6- 8:00 p.m. at the BHBA building. This should definitely count as appellate specialization MCLE. And for more of that, check out this State Bar Litigation Section webinar, Your First Appeal: Tips From Inside the Courts of Appeal on Friday, Jan. 20, 11-noon.

For 9th Cir. appellate tidbits, see this opinion here, holding that a court denial of an arbitration motion under state law is nonappealable. And see this request here for the Cal Supremes to answer some questions...
And here (holding that the 9th Cir. now has jurisdiction to review denials of Oregon anti-SLAPP motions)!

Moskovitz on Appeals in today's DJ asks On Appeal, Should We Do As the Brits Do? in which he compares and contrasts appellate procedure across the pond with ours here.
