The CLE—From Trial to Appeal: Preserving Issues and Perfecting the Record—is designed for both trial and appellate attorneys. It will offer practical strategies for building a complete record, preserving issues for appeal, and navigating post-judgment proceedings when the record falls short. 

Event Summary: 

Ensuring that issues are properly preserved at trial is essential for post-judgment success—and can sometimes even impact a trial court’s initial ruling. This CLE, designed for both trial and appellate attorneys, will provide practical strategies for making objections, building a complete record, and preserving issues for appeal. It will also cover what to do when the appellate record is incomplete, including using available appellate tools such as motions for rectification and articulation. Using real case examples, this program will highlight common pitfalls in issue preservation and offer strategies to avoid them. Whether you are trying a case or handling an appeal, this CLE will equip you with the knowledge to ensure that key issues are properly preserved and reviewable. Join us for this informative session and gain the insights needed to protect your client’s rights at every stage of litigation. 

Issue preservation is one of Megan’s favorite topics to discuss. As a Connecticut appellate lawyer who regularly encounters these issues, she looks forward to sharing practical insights that attorneys can apply across the litigation timeline.
