Appellate-practice materials from my “Bridging the Gap” presentation

This afternoon, I’m joining Justice Harry T. Lemmon (retired) in presenting the appellate-practice hour of the Louisiana State Bar Association’s Bridging the Gap seminar for newly minted lawyers. For those participants and others who may be interested:

• My heavily annotated outline of Louisiana appellate practice (PDF).
• PDF copy of my PowerPoint presentation.
• A Writ in Time (my article on how to calculate the deadline to apply to a court of appeal for a supervisory writ).

Participants may also be interested in these two articles by Judge Alex Kozinski of the Ninth Circuit:

• In Praise of Moot Court — Not!, in which Judge Kozinski discusses the differences between law-school moot-court programs and real-world appellate practice.
• The Wrong Stuff, in which Judge Kozinski explains how to lose an appeal that, for whatever reason, you must lose.
