Book excerpt: Berry's Effective Appellate Advocacy: Brief Writing and Oral Argument contains analysis that begins by providing an overview of the appellate process, including factors to consider before appealing. Technicalities of appealing are discussed, and extensive Internet sources are provided. Ethics of advocacy as informed by the new Model Rules with Internet sites provide the latest information. Sound persuasive theory is developed. Preparing and writing the opening, responding, and reply briefs, including examples, follows. Preparing and presenting the oral argument with examples concludes the appeal, absent post-argument procedures. These include post-argument memos and petition for rehearing or for writ of certiorari. Closing the case after appeal concludes the text.
