The Appellate Lawyers Association of Illinois (ALA) and the Seventh Circuit Bar Association (SCBA) Cordially Invite You to Attend

Written and Unwritten: The Rules, Internal Procedures and Customs of the United States Courts of Appeals

Join Judge Jon O. Newman of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and Marin K. Levy of Duke University School of Law for a behind-the-scenes look at how the 13 federal Courts of Appeals operate in practice. Drawing on their book, Written and Unwritten: The Rules, Internal Procedures and Customs of the United States Courts of Appeals, Judge Newman and Professor Levy will explore questions ranging from how courts decide which opinions are precedential and which appeals receive oral argument to lesser-known internal practices that vary among the circuits. The program will shed light on aspects of federal appellate practice you may have wondered about and answer questions you never thought to ask.

Location: Online. You will receive a Zoom meeting link via email after registering for this event. (Please note that only speakers will be visible, so participants need not dress formally for this event.)
