The Appellate Section provides a forum for attorneys who handle criminal appeals to keep up to date on legal developments and obtain case-related assistance.

Each year the Section sponsors Appellate Defender Training (ADT), a nationally acclaimed skills-based training conference in which participants work on their own active cases in small groups. (ADT Training Materials from past conferences are available through the Web site.)

A Section e-mail list facilitates the exchange of information and ideas among a large national network of appellate practitioners. Section members work with the Amicus Committee and NLADA staff to review cases for potential intervention and write or recruit authors for briefs.
