Update: some have reported difficulty with finding the How Appealing link below. Here’s a direct link to the issue.
The latest issue of Appellate Issues, the quarterly publication of the ABA’s Council of Appellate Lawyers is out, and features our article, “Preparing an Effective Appellate Brief – The Expert View.”
Also included in this issue are some really fascinating and helpful articles: “How to Write an Introduction” (they say the Intro is where you can win the case, and this article helps you hone your skills), “Theming the Appellate Brief,” three articles on tech issues: “Hyperlinking in the Appellate Arena,” “Video Hyperlinks: An Effective Tool in Appellate Advocacy,” and “Writing Appellate Briefs for Tablet Readers” (yes, many judges and clerks these days are reading your brief on screen), and an article by fellow Oahu denizen Col. Louis Puleo (Staff Judge Advocate for the U.S. Marine Coprs Forces, Pacific), “A Method to the Madness: Preparing for Oral Argument Before Appellate Courts.”
A link to the full issue has been posted at How Appealing (if you can’t access it there, email me).
