The Tennessee Courts website gave a positive review to a TBA program designed to help lawyers improve their appellate briefs and oral arguments. The “Best Practices in Appellate Courts” session was offered as part of the 24th Annual Labor and Employment Law Forum. Several judges participated and outlined key elements in the appellate process. Justice Holly Kirby praised the effort to improve appellate work saying, “It’s just a joy to have an appeal with really good lawyers. It just makes my heart sing. When we receive a well-crafted brief, when we have a well-prepared lawyer at oral argument, we come away just smiling.”
