The Appellate Practice Section includes many of Virginia’s most prominent appellate practitioners. The Section sponsors CLE programs designed to improve the level of appellate advocacy in the Commonwealth, and compiles On Appeal, a periodic newsletter containing matters of interest to lawyers who practice in the appellate courts.

The Section also considers ways in which the appellate legal system can be improved, and suggests statutory and rules changes to the Association for recommendation to the courts and the legislature.

Membership is open to any lawyer with an interest in appellate practice, regardless of his or her level of experience in this field.
