CPCS approved for 3.0 CLE Credits for Juvenile Delinquency/Youthful Offenders, Post-Conviction and Adult Criminal Trial Panels.

This program will provide strategies and advice on criminal appellate practice from justices of the Supreme Judicial Court and the Massachusetts Appeals Court, as well as from an experienced prosecutor and knowledgeable defense counsel.

The panel will examine the nuts and bolts—and nuances—of drafting criminal appellate briefs and various do’s and don’ts of oral argument.

Since successful appeals often turn on the trial attorney’s ability to create an excellent appellate record, the program will also address tactics and options at trial to preserve legal issues and facts in the record that can be raised and successfully argued on appeal.
