Part of the IBA Annual Litigation Forum 2018
Appeals are sometimes viewed – wrongly – as a chance to re-argue the case. In fact, appellate advocacy differs from trial advocacy in a number of ways and can require a different skill set. This session will feature experienced appellate counsel who will discuss such issues as:
- How preparing for an appeal differs from preparing for trial
- Formulating an effective opening
- Distilling the key issues to be addressed on appeal
- Responding to questions from the court and from multiple judges with differing perspectives
- Practical tips for presenting an effective appeal
- Appearing in the highest court in the land
