Upcoming Appellate CLE Opportunities

By D. Todd Smith

TexasBarCLE and the State Bar Appellate Section are co-sponsoring a new program called "Handling Your First Civil Appeal."  The live session will take place here in Austin on February 18, 2011, and the program will be available via webcast.  Smith Law Group's own Brandy Wingate will be speaking about motions for rehearing in the courts of appeals.

I've also been asked to help promote DRI's Appellate Advocacy Seminar, which is scheduled for March 10-11, 2011 in Orlando, Florida.  Panels of respected judges, in-house counsel, and court staff will address timely and relevant topics such as writing better briefs, use of amicus briefs, and ethics.  More about the DRI program and online registration information is available here.
