Civil Appeal Basics: How to Preserve Issues in the Trial Court

Elevate your trial practice and safeguard your appeals with this online seminar that shows you how to protect the record for the next stage of your case. Listen as our speaker, Timothy J. Storm, covers practical, real‑world techniques for preserving issues effectively—including understanding what it means to “make a record,” crafting airtight evidentiary objections, using offers of proof to ensure appellate review of excluded evidence, and following the precise steps needed to preserve jury‑instruction challenges. You will learn how to use and respond to motions in limine and how rulings on those motions can shape trial and appellate strategies. The program also clarifies when post-trial motions are mandatory (and when they’re simply smart practice) and clarifies the role of plain‑error analysis on appeal. Register here.
