Are you preparing for the appellate board certification exam? Or would you like to stay abreast of new developments in the appellate world? Six appellate specialists will present a four-hour video webcast as an update to last year’s certification review course. Please join Steven Brannock, Thomas Burns, Christine Davis, Cristina Alonso, Michael Davis, and Administrative Law Judge Andrew Manko for a discussion of recent developments in appellate law, including new rule changes. Plus, they will explain some long-standing principles often misunderstood or missed by appellate practitioners. If you’re sitting for the March 2027 exam, this video webcast is a must.
