D01 – Appellate Mediation: Why It’s Not Just Like Any Other Mediation – Jamie Billotte Moses (1.5 CME Credits Appellate)
Price range: $15.00 through $18.00
Appellate mediation is different. Appellate practitioners are only going to hire someone to mediate their appeal if the mediator genuinely understands what is going on at the appellate level. It's not just about going back and forth with numbers. It's knowing what the appellate court could do and what that means after the appeal. It's not about saying "we don't know what a judge/jury is going to do." Actually, we do, and that changes everything. Are you able to discuss the real costs of an appeal, what the standards of review are, and what's preservation? If not, you need to attend this!
