Florida Appellate Lawyer Just 25 years ago, there were few Florida attorneys who were regarded as "appellate lawyers." In fact, not so long ago the designation "appellate lawyer" did not even exist in Florida. In generations past, an attorney who gravitated toward the intellectual side of litigation -- researching legal precedents, writing legal briefs and memoranda of law, arguing legal points to judges, and providing support to trial lawyers -- might have been referred to by a colleague as a "law man" or "law woman."During the past 25 years,as legal specialization has increased, so has the number of Florida lawyers engaging in what is now known as "appellate practice." Since the mid-1990's the Florida Bar has designated qualified appellate attorneys as "board certified" specialists in appellate practice. Board certification by the Florida Bar in appellate practice requires the attainment of certain standards of knowledge and experience in the handling of appeals. For more information and a listing of Florida Bar board certified appellate lawyers, visit the Florida Bar's website. The goal of this website is to provide information, news and commentary about appellate practice in Florida. We feature blogs that discuss legal writing tips, recent Florida case law, and "random thoughts" related to Florida appellate practice. The site also contains information about our firm and the legal services we provide. We hope you find it useful and interesting. Articles
