Join our distinguished panel of an Appeals Court Justice, a Probate and Family Court Judge, and an experienced family law practitioner and appellate attorney for a practical discussion on handling a family law appeal from start to finish.
Learn how to build a strong trial record and preserve potential appellate issues for review by the Appeals Court. The panel will cover the logistics of filing an appeal and assembling the record in the Probate and Family Court, as well as the appellate process and strategies for drafting an effective appellate brief.
Hear directly from an Appeals Court Justice about how family law appeals are reviewed, how the Court approaches the issues presented, and what practitioners should consider when advocating for their clients on appeal
Family law matters are intimately personal, and touch upon people's most private treasures and issues. This perspective directly affects all aspects of domestic relations, including appellate practice. Serving as a practical guide on whether to appeal a family court decision, and then how to proceed with the appeal, this is a valuable resource for both the newer and the more seasoned family lawyer, filling a void in the literature by focusing on the unique issues involved in appealing a family law case.
