Happy (almost) Halloween, APS members!
No tricks here—just a quick round-up of all the great connections happening across your Appellate Practice Section.

Fall Meetings & New Connections
Last week’s virtual committee and Executive Council meetings showcased the impressive work happening across APS—and gave new members a chance to learn how to get involved. Afterward, more than 60 members (and several appellate judges!) joined in-person meetups at eight locations statewide. Great turnout, great conversations, and lots of friendly faces! Check out the photos on APS social media—no ghosting allowed.
