DRI: 2012 Appellate Advocacy Seminar

    Date: June 21–22, 2012
    Location: Hyatt Regency, Cambridge, MA
    More Information PDF

    At DRI’s 10th Appellate Advocacy Seminar, experienced appellate practitioners, in-house counsel, and occasional appellate advocates alike will benefit from a distinguished faculty of judges, in-house counsel, and leading practitioners providing valuable instruction and insight on effective advocacy, strategies, and business tactics. The live oral argument and writing sessions will provide concrete examples of what went well and what went poorly in a high-level appeal that featured some of the best appellate practitioners in the country. Other speakers will address broad, important topics, such as appeals from the in-house perspective and building an appellate practice, as well as specific issues, such as interacting effectively with the government and strategies for addressing emerging appellate issues in e-discovery and social media.
