LAW 2754 - Advanced Appellate Advocacy
In this course students are taught advanced appellate litigation skills by preparing a brief for an actual appellate case from an original record.
Students work in simulated law firms and are required to organize the record on appeal as well as outline the transcripts and proceedings of the trial court. The students identify, research and evaluate issues and develop a theory for the appeal as well as determine the concomitant brief strategy. The students also prepare appellate briefs, which include both the factual and legal issues. Students also argue the case in moot court exercises. Applicable rules of appellate procedure and practice are discussed and observed. Individual conferences are held to critique drafts of briefs.
Students also engage in various classroom exercises to aid in preparing their own case. Observations of appellate courts in practice are arranged.
