Bar News - April 19, 2002 Winning Appeals - Listen to the Experts Annual Meeting CLE SEVERAL MEMBERS OF the NH Supreme Court, along with expert appellate attorneys, are on the faculty for the NHBA CLE’s Appellate Advocacy program that will kick off the 2002 NHBA Annual Meeting at the Portsmouth Harborside Sheraton from June 20-22. (Accommodations at the Sheraton are expected to fill up fast. Use the room reservation form on page 9 to reserve your room now.) The full-day appellate CLE (6 NHMCLE hours, including 1.0 Ethics, plus lunch) will be presented Thursday, June 20, 2002, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. The faculty for this comprehensive program will include: NH Supreme Court Associate Justices Linda S. Dalianis and James E. Duggan, Clerk Eileen Fox, and appellate practitioners Doreen Connor, of Wiggin & Nourie, and Martin L. Gross, of Sulloway & Hollis. Topics to be covered are under development, according to Margaret Nelson, an NHBA CLE Committee member and a member of the Sulloway & Hollis firm. The program is designed to provide valuable information and practical tips to a variety of practitioners. To properly represent clients and avoid foreclosing on their legal options, every attorney needs to consider creating and preserving the trial record to effect an appeal or defend against one. This program will show you how. In addition to discussing how to preserve the record for appeal, this program will also distinguish between trial and appellate advocacy. What works in one forum may be disastrous in the other and this program will underscore the differences. Justices Dalianis and Duggan are uniquely qualified to address these issues – Dalianis was the longest-serving Superior Court judge before her appointment in 2000 to the NH Supreme Court, and Duggan was the Bar’s most experienced appellate advocate, who helped establish and directed the Public Defender’s appellate program. Duggan, the court’s most junior justice, was appointed to the court in 2001. The rest of the 2002 Annual Meeting schedule is falling into place. On Friday, the focus shifts to trial advocacy as the NHBA CLE Committee presents national speaker and attorney Todd Winegar’s "Lessons from the Trials of the Century," a full-day multi-media CLE program that entertainingly presents practical and hard-hitting lessons on various aspects of trial advocacy. The program utilizes examples from historic trials and the techniques of the most famous litigators of the 20th century – including Clarence Darrow and F. Lee Bailey. There are plenty of diversions on tap for this year’s meeting, as well – an all-day golf tournament at the Pease Golf Course, banquets and receptions, as well as shopping, dining and other entertainment in Portsmouth.
