How did your time as a Supreme Court of Virginia law clerk inform your practice today?
Serving as a law clerk to a justice of the Supreme Court of Virginia provided me with valuable insight on the appellate process, as the justices reviewed numerous appealed trial court cases and selected which cases are deserving of being resolved in a final decision by Virginia’s highest appellate court.
How does appellate law differ from other legal specialties?
Appellate law is different because it gives the attorney the opportunity to help shape the law while handling cases being appealed from the trial court to the appellate court. The appellate attorney’s work has potential wide-ranging precedential effects beyond the immediate case to other future cases presenting similar facts or that specific point of law.
