Following a ruling on class certification or the completion of a trial, a case may be appealed. Cases that move from trial court to appeal, however, face a set of new challenges. The rules are different, and so are the players. Success on appeal requires a deep understanding of the law and appellate procedure. Lawyers, skilled as they may be, must deftly select the right issues to present on appeal, write compelling briefs, and devise persuasive oral arguments to a highly sophisticated judicial audience.
Founding attorneys John Crisham and David Holman served as law clerks on the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit prior to beginning their careers in private practice. This elite professional experience provides the framework for a skilled understanding of the rules of appellate procedure, as well as the skills necessary to craft clear and effective appellate arguments.
