The outcome of most appeals turns on the briefs, not oral argument. A thoughtful, well-organized, compellingly written brief puts your client on the road to victory. Great briefs read easily. But don’t be lulled into thinking they are easily prepared. Hard work and careful strategy are required. In this program, Amy Margolin and Sean SeLegue, two experienced appellate lawyers at a firm renowned for high-stakes appellate work, give an inside perspective on how to achieve excellence. • Record review • Planning and teamwork • Standards of review • Issue selection • Drafting and refining • Mistakes to avoid
