| Per Diem - Appellate Briefs |
Paul DePetris has written appellate briefs for six (6) law firms on a wide variety of substantive and procedural issues. Is a deadline for an appellate brief coming up? As deadlines come closer and your firm’s file load increases, let the Firm free up your time by drafting your appellate brief.
Appellate briefs are not like trial court motion briefs - attorneys must follow very specific and demanding rules and deviation from those rules could result in the imposition of sanctions. For example, it is not uncommon for an appellate brief to require over one hundred citations to the record. Further, typefont, spacing and format are in large part specified by the Appellate Rules. Also, failure to properly frame the issues via the appellate brief could be fatal to one's appeal. Let an attorney experienced in drafting appellate briefs do the brief writing work for you, while you argue any oral argument on the appeal.
Mr. DePetris is also the author of the following publications: New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act & Forms (New Jersey Law Journal Books, 2007); Learned Professionals, Licensed Semiprofessionals and the Consumer Fraud Act: The Origins of the Licensed Professionals’ Doctrine (New Jersey Lawyer, Oct. 2008); and Liability For Consumer Fraud In Real Estate Transactions (New Jersey Law Journal, March 18, 2009). Mr. DePetris also gives seminars to attorneys and laypeople on the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act.
