How do we identify the issues on appeal? How do we develop facts and argument to use in our brief? What does a winning appellate brief look like? This topic will remove the barriers to the appellate process, and provide guidance on developing the issues, the arguments, the facts, and the legal support for a successful appellate brief. Come prepared to load up with skills and perspective on constructing an appellate brief that will make a difference for your client.
