The Year's Cases: 2019-2020 - Cases in the Time of Covid-19
A review of the past year’s developments in caselaw from California Appellate courts and the U.S. Supreme Court. This will focus
on issues relevant to appellate lawyers.
Laura Arnold
COVID Issue-spotting – Spinning Gold from Straw
Fun thing about a global pandemic … interesting legal issues for appellate counsel. Whether we’re looking at extensions of statutory time limits
resulting in due process violations, or conflicts between state authorization and local court implementation orders, or continuances granted without a showing of good cause, or compromised confrontation rights in our COVID-safe
jury trials, there is bound to be a little something for everyone!
Chuck Sevilla & George Schraer
Using Creative Zingers to Buttress Winning Arguments
Most writing in the standard appellate brief is as bland and colorless as mayonnaise on provolone between slices of
Wonderbread. The speakers believe there are occasions in which a well-placed zinger, or a classical or biblical reference, or something humorous, might actually contribute to the argument. While not insisting that
appellate attorneys write in a way that is outside their comfort zone, the speakers will highlight some instances in which a zinger might buttress a winning argument.
Brad O'Connell
State Habeas Corpus: Principles, Practice & Practicalities
This session will focus more on the practical aspects of our appellate habeas practice -- i.e., for panel attorneys working
with the projects. It will deal with matters such as the main categories of our habeas work, including habeas investigation during pendency of an appeal (the most common), out-of-blue appointments by Ct of Appeal on inmate-filed
petitions (such as parole habeas), and what I'm nicknaming "leveraged appointments" such as where staff or panel attorney files a habeas pet on someone's behalf (e.g., to take advantage of new case law affecting a former client)
and tries to get Ct Appeal to appoint them nunc pro tunc. It will also deal with topics like habeas investigation (incl seeking investigative or expert requests), timing of the petition in relation to the appeal (including
late-in-the-appeal, post-opinion, or post-remittitur filings), OSC's, & seeking Supreme Ct review.

When is a murder not a murder? Navigating resentencing under PC 1170.95
SB 1437, which sometimes feels like the “lawyers’ full employment act,” has reopened hundreds of old murder convictions.
From the superior courts up to the Supremes, judges are sorting out how to implement resentencings under PC 1170.95. We are swimming in uncharted waters, and this is our chance to shape the law. Get the latest updates and think
about creative ways to win.
