Now in its 22nd year, the Conference on State and Federal Appeals remains the premier conference on appellate practice and procedure in Texas. The program is designed for advanced-level civil appellate practitioners with opportunities to interact with state and federal appellate judges.
Join the Hons. Wallace B. Jefferson, Nathan L. Hecht, and Debra Lehrmann for the Texas Supreme Court Panel; and the Hons. Fortunato P. Benavides, Emilio M. Garza, and Joseph B. Morris as they share lessons learned over a lifetime of service on the appellate bench.
The 2012 conference features in-depth coverage of Texas procedural updates including voir dire, ebriefing, damages and waivers, and offers 12.50 hours of CLE credit including your entire annual 3.00 hours of ethics credit.
The traditional Friday luncheon with the appellate judiciary continues in 2012 (separate fee).
This conference is a must-attend event for every Texas civil appellate practitioner.
