How An Appellate Court Works
For anyone who has wondered how an appellate court works, there is an amazing article in today's New York Law Journal by Justice Saxe. I followed a free link in my daily NYLJ e-mail expecting a quick little article -- instead, I found a comprehensive description of the internal procedures of the Appellate Division, First Department. I'm not sure how, or if, it will have an effect on how lawyers approach appeals -- outside of calling attention to how important reply briefs are -- but it was refreshing to have it explained.
