The Appellate Practice Section Is Headed to Washington D.C. — and You Are Invited!

Following up on the Section's successful and well-attended 2016 Key West retreat, the Section is excited to announce it will hold its next biannual retreat in Washington D.C. October 4-6, 2018. The Section's Executive Council meeting will occur in conjunction with the retreat.
