The rules and procedures are markedly different from those in trial courts, and so too is the larger legal landscape. To prevail on appeal, strategic judgments and advocacy must be tailored to the unique demands of the appellate process. In this program, Amy Margolin and Sean SeLegue, two experienced appellate lawyers, provide valuable insights to help corporate counsel manage appellate litigation and to work with outside counsel effectively, efficiently and with maximum potential for success. Topics include: 1. Realistically assessing the prospects of success on appeal; 2. What does “success on appeal” really mean? 3. Cost-benefit analysis for appeals; 4. Allocating resources effectively on appeal; 5. Not-so-obvious possible downsides of appeals; 6. Special issues related to interlocutory appeals and writ petitions; 7. Whether and when to engage appellate counsel; 8. Mistakes to avoid in managing appellate litigation.
