FALL 2026 CLE WEBINAR WITH ATTORNEY DAN SIEGEL

Appellate Practice for Trial Lawyers: Preserving Issues and Winning on Appeal - September 17th, 2026, 1 p.m.

Many appeals fail before they ever reach the appellate court. Not because the legal arguments are weak, but because critical mistakes were made at the trial level.

This CLE course gives trial lawyers the practical tools they need to:

• Preserve issues for appeal
• Create an adequate record
• Understand and apply standards of review
• Avoid procedural errors that can undermine appellate success

Whether you’re preparing for trial or looking to improve your appellate strategy, this program can help you protect your client’s position at every stage of litigation.

GHOST YOUR INBOX: THE RADICAL VACATION MOVE THAT COULD MAKE YOU A BETTER LAWYER

Can lawyers really step away from email without neglecting their ethical duties? After decades of taking “vacations” with the office always within reach, attorney Dan Siegel finally disconnected completely for an entire week - and discovered that his clients, his practice, and the courts managed just fine without him.

What he learned challenges the belief that professionalism requires constant availability. Drawing on the Rules of Professional Conduct and his own experience, Siegel explains why a well-planned vacation can strengthen professional judgment, expose weaknesses in practice management, and help lawyers return better prepared to serve their clients.

TESTIMONIALS

WHAT OUR CLIENTS ARE SAYING

"Dan has more feathers in his hat than Sitting Bull, all well-deserved. Do NOT torture yourself writing a brief or responding to a motion, especially in a case (most cases?) where you are too “close” to the record to objectively assess what are the important issues you can win with vs. other “really interesting” issues, or worse still, continuing a fight with a defense attorney you really detest. Let Dan handle it, then go home, watch the Phillies and relax. I’m sure your only regret will be that you did not use Dan on prior matters."
