Looking for a useful gift for the budding appellate practitioner, look no more. Here is a book that will help your protege (or you) on the path to great appellate advocacy. Winning on Appeal, by Hon. Ruggero J. Aldisert, is one of the best texts available on the practical aspects of presenting an appeal.
Throughout Winning on Appeal, nineteen current chief justices of state courts, nine chief judges of U.S. Courts of Appeals, more than twenty U.S. Circuit judges, and state appellate judges contribute their thoughts on how to write a brief and how to argue a case-information that is not available in any other publication or resource. There is even a 3-page list of the common errors made in briefs that should be torn out and mounted to your computer as you are writing.
