Steve Brannock Presents at Appellate Board Certification Review Course

Brannock Berman & Seider shareholder Steve Brannock reprised his key role teaching about civil appellate practice at the most advanced continuing legal education program offered by the Florida Bar’s Appellate Practice Section.

The event serves as the principal study review course for appellate attorneys planning to take the board certification exam.  The distinguished faculty dive deep into the nuances of appellate practice, covering everything from administrative appeals to extraordinary writs to the differences between state and federal appellate procedure.

Steve’s two-hour presentation—a highlight of the program—focuses on the ins and outs of civil appeals in Florida’s state courts. He addresses jurisdiction, finality, preservation of error, procedural rules, the mechanics of filing an appeal, records on appeal, motions practice, standards of review, and just about everything else a lawyer seeking board certification in appellate practice must know. Steve’s presentation and accompanying written materials, which span almost 100 pages, have long been cited by experienced appellate practitioners as among the most important for preparing for and passing the challenging certification exam.
