    CLE Books updates Appellate Practice and Procedure in Wisconsin

    State Bar CLE Books has released a new supplement to one of its most popular treatises, Appellate Practice and Procedure in Wisconsin. Now in its third edition, this publication has become an indispensable resource on the essential concepts and processes of Wisconsin's two-tiered appellate court system.

    Authored by Madison attorney Michael S. Heffernan, the book's 28 chapters provide lawyers with practical guidance on basic steps, such as filing a notice of appeal, preparing appellate briefs, giving oral argument, and filing a petition for supreme court review. The book also explains specific procedures, such as those for expedited, one-judge, and administrative appeals; petitions for supervisory relief; and post-decision motions. The latest supplement provides summaries and analyses of recent legal developments affecting appellate practice and procedure, including extensive appellate rules amendments that took effect in 2003.

    The book contains several useful appendices, updated for the new supplement. These include:

    • the frequently consulted outline on "Standards of Appellate Review," by the Hon. Richard S. Brown of the Wisconsin Court of Appeals, District II;
    • More than 25 sample forms for use in the appellate courts, updated by Cornelia Clark, the Clerk of the Wisconsin Supreme Court and the Court of Appeals (the complete set of updated forms from the book is included on an accompanying computer disk);
    • handy listings of contact numbers and addresses of offices pertinent to appellate practice;
    • materials for expedited appeals;
    • and the complete text of the Wisconsin Rules of Appellate Procedure.

    The Appellate Practice and Procedure book is available for $145 (the price for only the 2003 supplement, including the updated forms disk, is $42), plus tax, shipping, and handling. Current owners of the book who subscribe to the Bar's automatic supplementation service will receive the current supplement at 10 percent off the regular price.
