Webinar: Preservation of Issues for Appellate Review at the Federal Level
2026-09-22 14:00 - 15:00 (America/New_York)
**Program hosted in (ET) Time Zone**
Preserving issues for appellate review is at the heart of both trial and appellate practice. And due to the numerous and unpredictable circumstances of trial, complying with federal preservation rules can often add unwelcome stress and complications to effective trial advocacy. This program will address the many specific rules for specific trial pleadings and contexts but will also place those rules into the context of broader preservation principles that will help take the worry and fear out of preservation.
Presented by the FBA’s Richmond Chapter.
