The Committee on Appellate Courts was established more than fifty years ago by the State Bar of California and later became a standing committee of CLA’s Litigation Section. Its members include appellate attorneys from a broad range of practice areas and types, including civil and criminal law, large firm attorneys and solo practitioners, government, court, and non-profit attorneys, and academics. The Committee’s mission is to provide attorneys with quality continuing education, to comment on proposed changes to court rules that affect appellate practice in California, and to initiate or support programs that, among other things, provide pro bono appellate assistance and assist pro se litigants on appeal. The Committee is actively seeking new members for the 2023-2024 term. Members serve 3-year terms, and the Committee meets monthly via videoconference as well as two in-person meetings, one of which coincides with the annual Litigation & Appellate Summit. To apply, please send a completed application form and resume by August 15, 2023 to the Committee Chair, Kelly Woodruff, at kelly.woodruff@calg.com.
And the Litigation Section's June 2023 Litigation Update is available now here.
