The Appellate Law Blog, published by the Michael Gross Law Office, focuses on appellate practice primarily within the Eighth Circuit and Missouri appellate courts. It covers topics such as appellate litigation strategies, brief writing techniques, standards of review including plain error, and civil rights issues like inmate medical care. The blog also addresses procedural aspects like class certification in securities fraud cases and provides guidance on mediation and trial consultation from an appellate perspective. It serves as a resource for trial and appellate attorneys seeking insights on appellate procedure, legal writing, and case law developments relevant to appeals and post-trial motions.
