Litigation Appeals - Essential Guidance & Practical Tips Live at Your Desk

Introduction

Appellate advocacy is often overlooked, with many advocates focusing primarily on witness handling and interim applications. Yet effective advocacy on appeal is a vital skill and a powerful asset for any litigator.

This virtual classroom seminar will provide litigators and advocates with essential guidance, practical tips, and useful checklists to help you prepare to pursue or resist appeals in both the civil and criminal courts.
