Personal Politics

The first time Judith Droz Keyes attended a Democratic National Convention it was 1968, and she never made it inside. At the time, her husband was serving in Vietnam as a swift boat officer, in the same squadron as John Kerry.

What Judges Want and Expect From Appellate Advocates

Victor Olds, an adjunct professor of appellate advocacy at Brooklyn Law School and the managing director and general counsel of Bedford-Stuyvesant Legal Services, writes: Every appellate practitioner knows that the success or failure of an appeal depends upon a number of important factors, among them a correct understanding and application of the substantive and procedural law involved, and an ability to advocate one's position persuasively to the reviewing court.
