A More Realistic Approach to Teaching Appellate Advocacy.

Tuerkheimer, Frank

Journal of Legal Education, v45 n1 p113-18 Mar 1995

This article proposes that law schools teach trial advocacy and appellate advocacy as a two-course sequence, in which a "trial" is conducted in the first semester and appealed in the second. Students would work on teams and gain experience representing either the party with the burden of proof or the responsive party. (MSE)
