The Art of Appellate Advocacy. Monday, March 4, 2013. Justice Thomas: The Beauty Lies in Simplicity. Justice Clarence Thomas is widely known for his notable silence during oral argument, a deliberate practice borne out of the notion that he can learn more about a case by listening than through talking.

Arguendo : E-filing: Are We There Yet?
http://arguendoesq.blogspot.com/2013/02/e-filing-are-we-there-yet.html
The Art of Appellate Advocacy. Wednesday, February 6, 2013. E-filing: Are We There Yet? The legal profession is an industry built on paperwork. I say this in jest, but it's true. Records and trial transcripts can span thousands of pages with the appellate court requiring the appellant to file dozens of copies. This results in appellate work becoming a very expensive enterprise. So, why the reluctance to embrace technology? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). New York Appellate Practice.

The Art of Appellate Advocacy. Thursday, October 25, 2012. Hat Tip to Kevin's Corner. Wednesday, October 24, 2012. In Praise of Judge Kozinski. From an en banc opinion to explain that he was "disagreeing with everyone," Judge Kozinski has little reason to worry. In any event, my late night browsing uncovered a few of his older musings on appellate advocacy. His advice on how to lose an appeal. Does not disappoint. To wit:. To guard against this, winning arguments should not just be buried, they should al...

Arguendo : People v. Pealer: Time for a Second Look at Pretextual Stops?
http://arguendoesq.blogspot.com/2013/02/people-v-pealer-time-for-second-look-at.html
The Art of Appellate Advocacy. Monday, February 25, 2013. People v. Pealer: Time for a Second Look at Pretextual Stops? As any criminal defense attorney and prosecutor knows, in determining the legality of a stop, a police officer's motivation in stopping the vehicle is irrelevant.

United States. The admission of...
