In the 25 years that I have worked in private practice as an appellate attorney in Pennsylvania, one recurring challenge I have faced is finding new and informative appellate-focused continuing legal education programming. The Pennsylvania Bar Institute from time to time has sponsored worthwhile appellate programs, and I have been fortunate to serve as a speaker on such panels every so often. But there were many years when I had already listened to all of the recorded CLE programs focused on appellate law, and thus I was stuck attending CLE programming outside of my area of practice just to ensure the completion of the necessary minimum annual hours.
In November 2014, I decided to escape from my local CLE cocoon in search of compelling appellate-related CLE programs offered elsewhere. I had heard excellent reviews of an annual four-day program known as the Appellate Judges Education Institute Summit, hosted by the judicial division of the American Bar Association and the Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law. The 2014 summit was occurring in Dallas, Texas, SMU’s home city. Justice Antonin Scalia was scheduled to speak, along with Bryan A. Garner, about the latest book on legal reasoning and writing that the two of them coauthored.
