Please join the Massachusetts Bar Association's Family Law Section as they
focus on best appellate practices for domestic relations attorneys.
Joseph Stanton, clerk of the Appeals Court, will discuss some of the more
procedural aspects of an appeal. Christina Paradiso, supervising attorney at
Community Legal Aid, and Afton Templin, director of juvenile appeals at the
Committee for Public Counsel Services, will provide tips for practitioners to
avoid common appellate pitfalls. They will also discuss what type of oral
advocacy they have found to be effective at the appellate level.
