Courts - Drafting an effective notice of appeal in the federal system
Howard Bashman's weekly column at Law.com this week is titled "You Call That a Notice of Appeal?." It concludes:
Drafting an effective notice of appeal may seem deceptively easy, but unfortunately the consequence of failing to file an adequate notice of appeal within the applicable deadline is harsh: the unavailability of appellate review. And even the most meritorious appeal cannot succeed if appellate review is not available due to the failure to file an effective notice of appeal.
