Welcome

 

Welcome to the website of The California Academy of Appellate Lawyers.

 

Founded in 1972, the Academy is the oldest lawyers' organization in the country dedicated solely to the practice of appellate law. Our membership is limited to California lawyers with very substantial experience in the appellate courts, who are elected to membership only after rigorous scrutiny of their skill in appellate practice. Click About Us to see an informal history of the organization.

 

The Academy plays an active role in the courts, appearing as amicus in cases that involve important issues of appellate practice. Some of the amicus curiae briefs and letters we have filed with the California appellate courts appear under Briefs and Letters.

 

We also invite you to browse the Member Directory, which includes profiles of our approximately 100 active members.
