Appellate Advocacy Training
Using their own cases, participants will learn to develop a cohesive theory of defense on appeal and to use that theory in writing a persuasive statement of facts and legal argument. Sessions include “Transforming the facts and your theory of defense into a persuasive story”; “Writing a persuasive brief: Statement of facts”; and “Persuasive brief writing: Legal argument." The training program will close with oral argument workshops. For information about other indigent defense education courses, visit our Indigent Defense Education site.
