Call for appellate articles!

The ABA's Council of Appellate Lawyers publication Appellate Issues is seeking articles for a themed issue to address Pandemic Appellate Practice:

  • tips on how you have steadied (or maybe grown) your practice during these challenging times (e.g., something like this here);
  • what unintended benefits have arisen that you think will be part of appellate practice even after this subsides;
  • how to stay connected to clients (and staff) in our new virtual world;
  • exploring current issues at the intersection of the Civil Rights and Black Lives Matter movements; 
  • exploring constitutional challenges cropping up in the face of the pandemic (e.g., First Amendment freedom of religion/expression, access to courts, closure orders generally);
  • legal issues and challenges surrounding mail-in voting;
  • anything else relevant?

Articles are due Nov. 1. Questions? Ideas? Articles to submit? Contact Nancy Olson: olsonancy@gmail.com.
