    CLE Books guide to Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals has the answers to your procedural questions

    You are a young solo practitioner, and the district court has just ruled against your client. You must now take the case to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. This is your first federal appeal, and the task is daunting. How long do you have to file your notice of appeal? How do you determine what will become part of the record? How long can your brief be, and what color cover must it have? What about motions: How are they filed and decided? Are the procedures the same in federal court as they are in state court? Where do you find the answers to these questions?

    The answers to these questions and many more are in the third edition of the Attorney's Guide to the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. Whether you are preparing for your hundredth trip to the Seventh Circuit or your first, this book has all the answers you will need about Seventh Circuit procedure. Written by experienced practitioners and court personnel, the guide takes you from start to finish through the appellate process. Have you forgotten how long your reply brief can be? The answer is in chapter 12, The Brief. What happens if the court reporter doesn't prepare your transcript in a timely fashion? Look up the answers in chapter 5, Record on Appeal. How do you proceed if you are appointed as counsel for an indigent client? Read about it in chapter 8, In Forma Pauperis Appeals.

    In a September 1997 Wisconsin Lawyer book review, Attorney Nicholas Zales said, "[t]his guide ... gives attorneys a wealth of detailed useful information. When considering an appeal or appeal-related issue, it is the first reference I look to." And now it's even better, because the 2005 edition has been fully revised and updated to reflect the latest case law and federal rule changes. So why let Seventh Circuit procedural questions worry you? Get the guide and get the answers.

    The guide is available for $139, plus tax, shipping, and handling. Buyers who subscribe to the Bar's automatic supplementation service will receive future updates at 10 percent off the regular price.
