Appeals

Judges are human beings and therefore make mistakes.  And appeals courts often read the law differently than trial courts do.  Therefore, appeals present a real opportunity to revisit the decisions trial court judges make, both favorable and unfavorable.

Will has experience working on appeals on a variety of issues.  This work incudes studying the record from the trial court, researching in depth the applicable law, drafting the necessary memoranda of law, and presenting the appeal to a panel of judges.  It also involves complying with the complicated rules appellate courts set and filing various documents to ensure compliance with those rules.
