Posted at 9:15 PM by Howard BashmanJudge Posner has already helped a convicted pro se litigant obtain a new trial: A unanimous three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit issued this per curiam opinion today. Now that Judge Posner has retired from the judiciary, he will need to find new ways to help pro se litigants in their quest for justice. And at “Above the Law,” Joe Patrice has a post titled “Circuit Agrees With Judge Posner On Treating Pro Se Litigants Better . . . By Benchslapping Judge Posner; Famed judge earns benchslap just in time for retirement.” Posted at 9:10 PM by Howard BashmanProgramming note: In connection with my oral argument tomorrow morning before a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit (additional details, including the appellate briefs I filed on my client’s behalf, can be accessed here), I will be commuting to New York City this afternoon. As a result, additional posts will not appear here until tonight. In the interim, as always while I am traveling, additional appellate-related retweets are likely to appear on this blog’s Twitter feed. Posted at 1:03 PM by Howard BashmanThere’s still time to sign-up to attend the Appellate Judges Education Institute Summit in Long Beach, Calif. from Nov. 2-5, 2017: If you are an appellate lawyer based in southern California or anywhere in the western United States, and you simply haven’t been able to decide whether to attend this year’s AJEI Summit in Long Beach, I am pleased to inform you that there is still time to sign-up to attend. Online registration can be accessed via this link (scroll down). I attended my first AJEI Summit in Dallas in November 2014. Then in November 2015, I attended the AJEI Summit in Washington, DC. Last year, the AJEI Summit decided to do me a favor and take place just down the road from me in Philadelphia, Pa., to standing-room-only crowds of attendees. And now, to make up for it, the 2017 AJEI Summit is taking place in Long Beach, Calif., a continent away, but I am still attending and will be serving as the moderator of a session titled “Courts in the Age of ‘New Media'” with three wonderful panelists. You can access the complete program for this four-day event at this link. I have worked as an appellate attorney in private practice for more than 25 years now, and it took me over 20 years to discover what wonderful appellate-related CLE programming the AJEI Summit delivers each and every year. Indeed, beginning in 2016 and continuing this year, I signed-on to be a part of the AJEI Summit’s Education committee, tasked with planning and delivering the best possible appellate-related CLE programming at each year’s event. When I was attending the November 2015 AJEI Summit in Washington, DC, an attendee I had never met before came up to say hello. He told me he learned of the event via my blog, and that even though he was an in-house attorney focusing mostly on real estate law, he found the programming to be so interesting and worthwhile. Last November, I saw him again in Philadelphia. Whether he will travel cross-country for the 2017 Summit in Long Beach remains to be seen, but I certainly will be, and I hope you too can attend and will learn for yourself what a worthwhile and wonderful event the annual AJEI Summit happens to be.
