On January 1, 2022, appeals of right came to Virginia. This change transforms not just appellate practice, but litigation as a whole in Virginia’s courts. In this crash course for trial lawyers, ThompsonMcMullan attorney John O’Herron and Virginia Bondurante of McGuireWoods will address not only the new appellate landscape, but how to succeed in it.
Topics to be covered include:
- The new appellate rules governing Virginia appeals
- The logistics of prosecuting or defending an appeal
- Protecting your appeal in the trial court
- Impact of the new appellate landscape on trial practice
The seminar will be held live via webcast and telephone February 17th and will be offered again March 22nd with live Q&A. Attendees of either session will receive 2.0 MCLE credits and registration can be completed at the Virginia CLE website.
