The focus of this blog is on issues at the intersection of trial and appellate practice:
(1) substantive legal developments;
(2) appellate procedure, standards of review, and appellate jurisdiction that can greatly influence how a trial attorney shapes litigation at the trial level;
(3) post-trial practice in the trial courts; and
(4) writing, oral advocacy, and other practical skills.

After hosting Justice Alito and Justice Scalia, Pepperdine recently hosted an event with Justice O’Connor. Read appellate attorney Ben Shatz’s account of the Justice O’Connor event at the Los Angeles County Bar Association blog, en banc, where you can also find his previous posts on the Justice Alito and Justice Scalia events.
