: How Appealing

What's new?

What's new? On Monday through Thursday of last week, and again today, I was attending the trial of a civil case in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey in Camden. In November 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit issued a decision on an appeal in which I represented the plaintiff-appellant. The Third Circuit's ruling reversed the district court's grant of summary judgment against the plaintiff's breach of contract claim and remanded that claim for trial.

The trial took place last week and concluded today with a jury verdict in favor of the plaintiff on all issues, awarding to the plaintiff all of the damages that the plaintiff had sought. I was attending the trial at the plaintiff's request to ensure that the plaintiff took all necessary steps during trial to preserve its appellate rights. Thanks to the great work of plaintiff's trial counsel -- David Sokasits, Esquire -- it is now the defendant that is facing the need to file any post-judgment motions and any appeal.

Also today, I filed this Reply Brief for Appellants in the Third Circuit in a separate case that I previously mentioned in this post from January 2008. The opening Brief for Appellants in that case can be accessed here.
