Description

Learn from our highly experienced judicial and prosecutorial panel about best practices and tips for crafting a winning appeal: from conducting effective legal research to persuasive brief writing to mastering the art of commanding oral arguments. Where people of color, including Asian Americans, remain greatly underrepresented as appellate attorneys and judges, our panel will engage in a thoughtful discussion on how we can work together to foster and sustain truer diversity and inclusion in the appellate world. Our panel will also explore how we can all invest in ourselves and strengthen the legal profession by incorporating wellness, well-being and balance in our professional and personal lives.
