This column tends to alternate between substantive discussions of notable or noteworthy appellate matters and practical tips and tricks for effective appellate practice. Notwithstanding the ongoing storm of controversy and unwanted attention regarding the appellate courts, I do not intend to be sidetracked. Therefore, we will take a step back from the fray and refocus on the practical.
Although appellate work involves legal strategy and zealous advocacy like every other area of practice, it sometimes requires a different set of tools. When constructing appellate arguments, particularly the brief, there are discrete concepts to keep in mind. Some may be obvious. Some are very specific to appellate practice. Hopefully all are helpful to the reader when drafting appellate arguments.
