SUMMARY:From Trial to Appeal: Effectively Preserving Error for Review
DESCRIPTION:This webinar will be a panel discussion with two seasoned appellate practitioners about preserving error for appellate review—a topic that can be deceptively simple but frequently trips up even experienced litigators. As every appellate lawyer knows\, the foundation of a successful appeal is laid at trial. If the record isn’t properly preserved\, there might not be anything for the appellate court to review—no matter how compelling the argument. That’s where things can quickly unravel. Our goal is to sharpen your awareness of common pitfalls and practical strategies so that you can strengthen your trial practice and protect your record effectively for appellate review. \nTopics Include:\n\nWhat “preserving error” really means in practice\nWhy “preserving error” is critical for the appellate process\, including a standard of review discussion\nCommon mistakes trial lawyers make when attempting to preserve the record and how to avoid them\nNuances in preserving error in civil vs. criminal trials\nSpecial considerations for preserving error when using technology during trial\nPractical tips and best practices\n\nModerator\n\nCristina Rodriguez\, NAAG Program Counsel\n\nSpeakers\n\nDaniel Matzkin\, U.S. Attorney’s Office\, Southern District of Florida\, Chief of Appellate Division \nSarah Thorne\, Deputy Attorney General\, South Dakota Office of the Attorney General Division Director\, Appellate Division\n\n\nRegistration Deadline: July 16\, 2025\, 8:00 a.m. ET\nThis virtual training is a closed session for attorneys general and attorney general staff only. \n\nContinuing Legal Education (CLE)\nNAAG will apply for CLE for attendees eligible under CLE accrediting body guidelines. \nAccessibility Planning\nIf you identify as a person with a disability and would like to request reasonable accommodations for this event\, please complete the Accessibility Request Form
