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
