The National Appellate Practice Institute is designed both for public and private practitioners who currently appear in federal and state appellate courts and attorneys who want to prepare themselves for appellate practice.  The program will focus on appellate writing, oral advocacy skills, and common mistakes and pitfalls in the appellate process.  The program will also provide valuable insight into perspectives from the bench.  Every appellate advocate can benefit from knowing how appellate judges view appellate lawyers.  Experienced and novice advocates alike, as well as repeat participants, have expressed great satisfaction with the skills honed by attendance.
