If you’re thinking about appealing an adverse decision, this session is for you. Perfecting an appeal in any of the four Appellate Division Departments can be a slog. This session, presented by practitioners who have recently wrapped up their own appeals, will cover what you need to do to “perfect” an appeal—i.e., bring your case before a panel of the Appellate Division—and the types of motion practice that may occur at the Appellate Division. It will cover applicable deadlines in the different Departments, the methods of preparing the record on appeal, motion practice and important details that, if not attended to, can prevent an appeal from being heard. The webinar will also address how you can prepare the record on appeal without using an appellate printer. Note that this session will focus on the mechanics of getting an appeal on the calendar; it is not a session on appellate oral advocacy or on brief writing.
