SUMMARY:Webinar:  Civil Appeals: The Basics
DESCRIPTION:June 26 @ 2:00 pm – 3:00 pm (Q&A from 3:00-3:15 p.m.-not considered for CLE) \nSeeking relief from a federal appellate court can be a daunting responsibility for any litigator. This webinar will help demystify the process by covering the essentials of civil appeals and potential pitfalls along the way. During this roundtable discussion\, panelists will provide insights on substantive and procedural considerations throughout the appellate process\, as well as practical tips for practitioners. \nPlease note: The CLE is 60 minutes\, with additional time allowed for Q&A of the panelists. \nPresented by the Professional Development Committee & the Younger Lawyers Division. \n\n\nClick Here to Register.\nFor questions regarding this program\, please contact MyLaw CLE by email: registration@mylawcle.com or phone: 877-406-8636. \n\nAbout the Presenters\nEduard (“Ed”)  Guedes\, Partner\, Weiss Serota Helfman Cole + Bierman \nA Fellow of the prestigious American Academy of Appellate Lawyers and ranked by Chambers USA in appellate law\, Ed Guedes is widely known for his representation of business and government clients in high-stakes appeals. His in-depth knowledge and experience were further recognized when he was nominated in 2008 to fill a vacancy on the Florida Supreme Court. \nEd is also Board Certified in Appellate Practice by the Florida Bar. He has litigated dozens of appeals before the Florida Supreme Court\, Florida’s district courts of appeal and the U.S. Courts of Appeals in a wide variety of matters\, including medical malpractice\, premises liability\, insurance liability\, First Amendment and constitutional litigation\, family law\, state and federal administrative rule-making and regulation\, home rule authority and preemption\, election law\, civil rights\, land use and zoning\, intellectual property and labor and employment issues. \nEd’s clients span a diverse range of industries\, from a national supermarket chain to local governments. He works with each client to develop cost-effective litigation strategies that clarify and shape the law\, ultimately advancing their broader business goals. \nEd represented more than 40 city and county governments in defending a $200 million federal class action lawsuit involving red-light camera programs  across Florida. His successful strategy in numerous state court proceedings\, which culminated in a unanimous Florida Supreme Court decision upholding the legality of the programs\, led to a decisive dismissal of the class action. In another appellate victory\, Ed represented the manufacturer of the breath-alcohol testing instrument used in Florida in a legal battle over the company’s source code. Ed’s strategic approach to trial court and appellate proceedings led to a change in existing case law in Florida and establishing new precedent\, when the Florida Supreme Court issued a unanimous decision in his client’s favor. In another precedent-setting decision from the Florida Supreme Court\, Ed represented a national insurance carrier in establishing the carrier’s right through subrogation to pursue a malpractice claim against its insured’s retained counsel. \nEd is regularly quoted in the media on his high-profile cases.
