Preparing the Excerpts of Record for Federal Appeals
March 24  |  12 p.m. CT  |  CLE: 1  
This course will provide an overview of designating the record and preparing the Excerpts of Record for federal appeals. Preparing the record is critically important to success on appeal, but is often overlooked by attorneys who may come to their paralegals shortly before the briefing deadline. Both attorneys and paralegals should be aware that the process is time-intensive. Not only that, but now that the courts have entered the digital age, the courts require the Excerpts of Record to conform to demanding technical specifications. This is a daunting undertaking by both the paralegal and the attorney, and paralegals can be of tremendous value by understanding the process and encouraging their attorneys to plan ahead.
