Holiday Inn-Plainview
215 Sunnyside Blvd.
Plainview, NY
(516) 349-1240
7.0 TOTAL CREDITS
3.5 credit hours of professional practice and/or
practice management; 3.0 of skills; 0.5 of ethics. This basic-level
course has been approved for MCLE credit in New York for all
attorneys, including newly admitted (less than 24 months).
Description
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 Second Department.
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 members in Plainview will offer their valuable
perspectives discussing the practical and strategic considerations
involved in the program's topics.
