Appellate Standards of Review and Reversal: Why They Matter Out of Stock
Co-sponsored by the CBA Litigation Section
Quantity
Standards of review and reversal are indispensable parts of every appellate brief. They frame how appellate courts will address, analyze, and rule on arguments on appeal. They are the lenses through which the judges view the issues raised. This seminar provides appellate practitioners (and those interested in appellate practice) the opportunity to explore the world of appellate review and engage in a conversation on how to use these filters effectively to advocate for their clients.
- Explore or refresh your knowledge on standards of review and reversal
- Learn how judges view appellate arguments
- Make sure you're up to standard on your appellate briefing skills
