Welcome to the New Appellate Practice Blog

Welcome to the new Appellate Practice blog. I'll still be posting articles in my other blogs, the Barrister Brief for more general legal articles (continuing the writing from the Public Law Advocacy blog that I decided needed a bit of a makeover), in Reasonable and Probable Grounds for pieces related to the investigation and prosecution of drug offences, and on Professional Misconduct Defence for writing of interest to those facing professional regulatory proceedings. But in Appellate Practice you'll find writing devoted to appeals.

I won't talk much here about specific appeal decisions, because there are already a lot of others out there who do a good job with that, and you can read the decisions yourself on canlii.org. Rather, the blog's devoted to the how, when, why, who, where, what and how much of appeal practice - be you a client contemplating hiring a lawyer for an appeal, someone planning to give an appeal a go by yourself, or others in the legal profession who want to know more about appeals.
