Ten Rules Of Appellate Advocacy

This is Ten rules of appellate advocacy  by m.d.kirby

I hope this information  will be  helpful to our legal profession.

 

(1)     Know the court or tribunal that you are appearing in; 

(2)     Know the law, including both the substantive law relating to your case and the basic procedural rules that govern the body you are appearing before;  

(3)     Use the opening of your oral submissions to make an immediate impression on the minds of the decision-makers and to define the issues; 

(4)     Conceptualise  the  case,  and  focus  the  attention  of  the  court directly on the heart of the matter viewed from the interest you are propounding; 

(5)     Watch the bench and respond to them; 

(6)     Give priority to substance over attempted elegance; 

(7)     Cite authority with discernment; 

(8)     Be honest with the court at all times; 

(9)     Demonstrate  courage  and  persistence  under  fire  .   You  will generally be respected for it.  In any case it is your duty; and 

(10)   Address any legal policy and legal principles involved in the case and show how they relate to the case. :D
