The TBA’s Appellate Practice Section will hold a virtual roundtable discussion on federal appellate practice during the pandemic Aug. 26 from 2 to 3 p.m. CDT. U.S. 6th Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Julia Smith Gibbons and Clerk of Court Deborah Hunt will discuss remote arguments and how the court has adapted its operations during this time. They will be joined by two Tennessee attorneys who have participated in remote oral arguments: Alexander Wharton from The Wharton Law Firm and Robert Hutton from Glankler Brown. Kevin Ritz, the appellate chief in the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Memphis, will moderate the discussion. The event is free and open to all TBA members, but registration is required.
