Hi there! I am a fourth-year L&E attorney at a large firm. After a considerable amount of research, I've determined that appellate practice is a much better fit for my skill set and interests (complex research and writing, performance / oral argument). I'm currently based in Chicago, but am contemplating a move to TX. Are there any Chicago or TX appellate attorneys who might be willing to chat in more detail? Thanks!

I need to let it out but I’m so fucking proud of myself and I just realized how lucky I got and it took me until just now to see it. I started in the military and it only took 2 months for me to get out and fall into a bottomless hole of depression. My transition went from: $13 an hour part time, separation with the wife, new job at $18 an hour for physical labor, hit with disability diagnosis, then $20 an hour new office job, reconnecting with wife, having 2nd kid, nearly divorcing (cont.)

Hi! I just finished a clerkship and started at a civil litigation firm. I absolutely hate it—primarily because I want to research and analyze case law, not copy and paste. Any tips on how or what to look for appellate work in LA? Wondering if there’s a way to start out as support to an appellate attorney for research and writing.

Hi Appellate Lawyers, we just did an unsuccessful petition for writ of mandate to Ct of Appeal in CA, now the partner wants to go to Supreme Court of CA. Never done this before. Is it done ...

I’ve been the exclusive appellate attorney at my office for five years as an associate and 11 months as a “partner.” No equity partners. My appeals come from other partners. Once a case comes to me on appeal, I handle everything from beginning to end. But, I still receive no extra credit or origination credit for my appellate work because the clients belong to other partners. How does this work at other firms? How is credit for the case handled once it is transferred to the appellate group?
