The rules governing appealability vary greatly between California and the Ninth Circuit, and a misstep can mean the loss of appellate review. This CLE program provides a detailed examination of these differences, aimed at trial court-level litigators. The program will explore common interlocutory orders—such as class certification rulings and motions to compel arbitration decisions—that often require immediate appeal or else face appellate forfeiture. The program will also address the complex world of writ petitions and will review key procedural and mechanical requirements of appeals under California and Federal law.
