In my article titled Five Myths About Appellate Lawyers, published in the February 2025 edition of DRI’s For The Defense magazine, I debunk the following myths:
- Appellate lawyers are not really litigators.
- Trial lawyers should handle their own appeals because they know the record better than anyone.
- The Supreme Court Bar is composed of a small number of appellate superstars.
- Amicus briefs don’t really matter.
- Appellate work is not profitable.
