New York Appellate Practice

Tuesday, December 8, 2009

- Location -
New York State Nurses Association
11 Cornell Road
Latham, NY
(518) 782-9400

Description

8.0 TOTAL CREDITS

3.5 credit hours of professional practice and/or practice management; 3.5 credit hours of skills; 1.0 credit hour in ethics. This basic-level course has been approved for MCLE credit in New York for all attorneys, including newly admitted (less than 24 months).

This traditionally popular, basic-level course produced by the Association's Committee on Courts of Appellate Jurisdiction will address the "nuts-and-bolts" requirements, recommended tactics and necessary legal theory behind the successful taking and perfecting of a civil appeal in New York State's appellate courts, with particular focus on practice and procedure in the Third Department. Time has also been set aside to address practice pointers in the New York State Court of Appeals.

Although designed primarily for practitioners who have not had extensive New York appellate experience, the program will also serve seasoned appellate lawyers as a useful up-to-date review of the numerous details one must know and master to handle a civil appeal in New York. Where appropriate, speakers will call attention to significant differences between civil and criminal appellate practice.
The well-rounded faculty in Albany will offer their valuable perspectives discussing the practical and strategic considerations involved in the program's topics.
