What Does an Appellate Attorney Do?
An appellate attorney represents a client in a higher court after an unsatisfactory ruling from a lower court.
In order to successfully argue an appeal, appellate attorneys:
Review trial records for errors
Develop a strategy for framing an appeals argument
Research and analyze relevant case laws
Prepare the appellate brief and other documents
File a notice of appeal
Argue the case in appellate course, if necessary
The state of Nevada has a large body of rules concerning appellate procedures. An experienced appeals attorney is familiar with the system and can make sure your appeal goes as smoothly as possible.
