SUMMARY:Inside the Court of Appeals: What Makes an Effective Parent Defense Appeal\, Part 1
DESCRIPTION:This is a two-part training and we ask that you attend both parts if at all possible. \nJoin Colorado Court of Appeals staff attorneys for a candid discussion about how parent defense appeals move through the appellate process and how attorneys can make their briefs more effective. This session will explore common briefing challenges\, recurring technical issues\, and opportunities to improve clarity and precision in appellate advocacy. Participants will gain insight into how staff attorneys analyze cases\, identify issues\, and communicate recommendations to the Court\, with practical takeaways for strengthening written advocacy in every appeal. \nWe will also explore how appellate advocates can maximize the impact of their arguments in complex and evolving areas of the law. Court of Appeals staff attorneys will discuss effective ways to present novel issues\, identify and frame unsettled legal questions\, and craft arguments that resonate with the Court’s analytical approach. Through examples and discussion\, participants will examine opportunities to shape the development of parent defense law while providing the Court with the tools it needs to fully engage with challenging issues on appeal. \nRegister HERE!
