As every experienced appellate attorney knows, there is much to consider and prepare for in order to successfully argue a case before a state or federal appeals court. In this program, appellate attorney Robert Fitzpatrick shares his top 25 rules for appealing appellate advocacy. In order to compile this list, Mr. Fitzpatrick not only drew from his many years of experience arguing before appellate courts, but also conducted a number of interviews with appellate court justices who shared the common missteps attorneys make. Included in this program is a document containing further discussion of all 25 rules.
