This was us. My firm (I just work there, I'm not an attorney) was one of the firms represented #today in #appellate court.
We argue that the #ExecutiveOrder was retaliatory and violates free speech & association. They want to make it about denying access to classified information, bc the courts have sided w/ executive assertions and bc they can still ruin our ability to practice law by denying access.

— The Courts do know that all citizens are entitled to the equal protection of the law even if they are gay or trans, right? It's like the most fundamental part of constitutional law

NO bond for you! 👀
A #newyork #appellate court denied Donald #Trump's attempt to freeze the #judgment in his #civil fraud case, a ruling that means, for now, that he is required to post a #bond for #hundredsofmillions of dollars in the coming #weeks.
Judge Anil Singh declined to address the amount of the bond, effectively requiring Trump by default to post a bond for the full #judgment of $454 million.https://abcnews.go.com/US/trump-plans-post-100-million-bond-asks-stay/story?id=107634579

#NYAG #Amer questions #JeffMcConney more about how he #valued specific #Trump #properties & what info he may have excluded from his accountants’ assessment.
Note: Trump’s principal lawyer #ChrisKise is absent today.
Trump's legal team this morning filed a stay request to the state #Appellate Division (#AD1), to halt the #trial & #dismiss #Engoron’s #SummaryJudgment. #Kise, who was Florida’s solicitor general, (the top FL appellate lawyer). So presumably he’s dealing w/ they stay.

Back to my #Trump #Fraud #Trial #Day4 🧵
The trial gaveled back in session after a lunch.Trump’s lawyers argued w/ lawyers from the AG's office about the motion Trump's team plans to file for a #stay pending their #appeal. Trump's team said they have not filed yet, but plan to file in front of the First Dept of the #Appellate Div tomorrow. They refused to disclose the scope of the requested stay before Judge #Engoron, insisting that the motion will be presented to the AD1, not the trial #court.
-
#Trump & his #legal team have said repeatedly that they “won 80% of the trial,” because an appellate court *intended* to dismiss claims based on statutes of limitations. #Engoron has not dismissed any portion of the AG’s case, but the defense is suing him over what they say is an improper refusal to follow the #appellate court order. Engoron acknowledged the blanket #objection, & #Bender proceeded to #testify.
-
Oh FFS; Before the first #witness #DonaldBender, could even begin testifying, one of Donald #Trump’s attorneys issued a preemptive #objection. Chris #Kise told Justice Arthur #Engoron that he objected to various parts of the #accountant’s #testimony & wanted to issue a “blanket objection” based on an #appellate ruling in June.
“As you know we won an appellate victory in June of this year,” #Kise said. “We make a blanket #objection to #testimony in that regard.”

"...now, we have never considered a dispute over a congressional #subpoena for the President's records. And, according to the parties, the #appellate #courts have addressed such a subpoena only once, when a #SenateCommittee subpoenaed President #Nixon during the #Watergate scandal. See infra , at 2032 – 2033..."
Now of course #ScareCrow aka #HarlanCrow should have better paid the #lawfirm to produce something of an #AmicusBrief on behalf of still-#JusticeThomas, but...

BREAKING --
US appeals court preserves limited approval of abortion pill while legal challenge plays out

Everyone is buzzing about the amicus brief with 45 connect-the-dot famous trademark drawings.
The drawings are fun: https://www.supremecourt.gov/DocketPDF/22/22-148/255412/20230223142237872_Supreme%20Court%20Amicus%20Brief%20pdfA.pdf
But the conceit of the brief is an offer to list each Justice and law clerk's work for sale “on a consignment basis.” There are 45 signature lines, prepaid stamps, and preprinted addresses.
Let's just say that filing a brief that proposes a monetary transaction with each Justice and law clerk, by name, is... not something I'd do.

@NatlSecCnslrs My experience of #appellate work has been different.
But I do feel the mental hurdle you are describing. In cases where I did substantial writing in district court, it can feel even harder to get started. It's nice to have some legal research done. But the one thing I know about my previous argument prose is that it failed to persuade one judge. And now I need to persuade two.
In the easiest cases, that leads to a harshly critical self-edit. In harder cases, a complete rewrite.

@rbphillipsjr I've settled in here. It takes a little time. Mastodon was already a fully inhabited and functioning social network—with lots of communities—before #AppellateTwitter started to arrive. The folks living here worked on the messy details for years. The complexity of what they built (post visibility levels, the federation system, letting hashtags control which words are searchable) is designed to foster those communities.
Oh, and there's an "edit" button. #Appellate #AppellateMastodon

#Appellate Nibs No. 3: Avoid “that’s not this case.”
Of course your focus is your client’s case. But an appellate court is as concerned with the law’s broader development—say, how your proposed test could apply under different facts or affect other doctrines. Your client might not care about those things, but the court does—and winning will mean resolving their concerns. So, even in strict service to your client, keep a wider view than their case alone. What does that mean practically? (1/2)
-
One way. Go to #law and also to the profiles of lawyers you know who are mastodon.
See who they are themselves following. Likely other law related folks.
A database of lawyers on masterdon is being compiled. Today boosted a post by the person doing this. Scroll threw posts I boosted today.. Thursday.. to find it.

Thanks for posting the decision. Can't wait to read it.

#Appellate Nibs No. 1: It’s dangerous to go alone! Take friends.
The longer you work on an appeal, the more your thoughts and assumptions about your case tend to ossify—even in ways you don’t see. Sometimes your most valuable asset is an outside perspective: a second opinion on your theories, feedback on a brief, or help mooting an argument. “I guess I never thought about it that way” can be a powerful and wonderful moment during drafting! It’s… not so wonderful at the podium.

#Appellate Nibs
Today kicks off what will be a weekly series of short appellate practice tips offered for fun and conversation, mostly aimed at the newer #lawyer and #lawstudent crowd, as well as practice-oriented #lawprofs. Many will concern #legalwriting or #oralargument. Some will be more general thoughts on #law practice.
Quick Notes:
(1) My work is chiefly in the Oregon state appellate courts and in the 9th Circuit. Rules of practice vary. So will your experience, so please chime in!
