Lawyerist.com has posted an interesting, two-part interview with appellate lawyer Brian Keller here and here. Keller is a supervisory appellate attorney in the U.S. Department of the Navy’s appellate division.
If you are interested in what makes us appellate law nerds tick, or are interested in becoming an appellate lawyer and want to know if you have what it takes, then the interview is well worth reading. You can also check out Mr. Keller’s awesome-sounding blog, Litigator Rex, or follow him on Twitter at @litigatorrex or @AppellateJunkie.
