The program will provide insight into the inner workings of the Court and will emphasize practical tips designed to enhance the quality of appellate advocacy for both civil and criminal appeals in the Second Circuit. The faculty will offer their insight on what they see as current and upcoming issues to be handled by the Court.

Of special note is the inclusion in the program of a special “Questions and Answers” segment for the judges on the faculty. Registrants may submit questions for the judges in advance of the program by emailing them to: appcourts@nysba.org. As time allows, as many questions as possible will be discussed.
