This is an 8-class skills course. It is not a course on appellate law or procedure. We will focus on the techniques and dynamics of appellate advocacy, with special emphasis on oral argument. Some aspects of brief writing and presentation will also be covered, but the core offering is an effort to build solid clinical skills in oral advocacy in appellate courts. We will provide a more detailed syllabus prior the first class in January of 2010.
