All About Appeals

I suspect I know why people have been asking about appeals. There was what you might call a high-profile criminal conviction in the news this week.

I plan to talk about appeals in general. I'll also offer insights into the work of a criminal appellate defense lawyer. For example, this was my cycle:

1. Get a new record. Begin reading. Think: "OMG my client screwed up big time. I won't be able to do anything with this one."🤦‍♀️

1. Keep reading. Do some research.

2. Identify an issue. Think: "This might work."

3. Read some more. Think: "I can raise this."

4. Write the argument.

5. Final stage: "I should win this!"💪

This will be a fun blog post because I included a test.
