A motion can protect appellate jurisdiction, correct the record, secure needed time, preserve the status quo—or create an unnecessary distraction. Knowing when to file one, what the court needs to see, and what is unlikely to succeed can make all the difference.
In this live webcast seminar, Winthrop attorney Kyle Kroll joins fellow appellate practitioner Adam E. Petras (Hennepin County Attorney’s Office) and Minnesota Court of Appeals staff attorneys Kari Crone and Jeff Simard for an inside look at motion practice before the Minnesota Court of Appeals. The panel will explain how motions are routed and decided, identify recurring problems and misconceptions, and offer concrete guidance for presenting requests efficiently and persuasively.
