It has been published for a couple of months, but we finally got our hands on an author’s copy of the Hawaii State Bar Association’s Federal Appellate Practice Manual. We authored the chapters on “Briefing – Merits and Amicus” and “Supreme Court Review.”
Our fellow Damon Key lawyers Bethany Ace, Mark Murakami, and Kumau Pineda-Akiona also contributed chapters (“Requisites to Filing an Appeal” (Ace, Murakami, Pineda-Akiona), and “Other Appellate Court Practice” (Ace)).
It’s a compact deskbook, and a worthy supplement to the Federal Rules and the big-volume appellate practice treatises, with a special focus on how Hawaii-based lawyers do appeals in the federal court system.
To get your own copy, use this form, or contact Bethany (currently the Chair of the HSBA’s Appellate Law Section) if you have problems, or just want to do it the semi-old fashioned way and actually communicate with a real live person. Bethany is good, and she will be able to help you get your copy if the form method is too cumbersome.
