Gary Watt Joins the California Appellate Law Blog

We are pleased to welcome Gary A. Watt as a contributing member of Archer Norris’s California Appellate Law Blog team and to the firm.  As a partner in the Appellate practice group, Gary brings his unique experiences to the blog through commentary on current court opinions and how they impact both trial and appellate lawyers.  As an Adjunct Professor at Hastings College of the Law and director of the Hastings Appellate Project, Gary is able to view happenings in the appellate courts through both the lens of attorney and academia.  He will no doubt uphold the blog’s intended goal of highlighting appellate opinions that affect the day-to-day practice of litigators and appellate lawyers and to be a resource for counsel at all stages of litigation.  Gary joins fellow California Appellate Law Blog bloggers Ric Blumhardt and Danielle Arteaga.

 

About Archer Norris

Archer Norris has an experienced group of appellate lawyers with a proven track record of success in California’s appellate courts. The firm’s appellate attorneys have briefed and argued numerous cases before the California appellate courts, the California Supreme Court, and the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. They are experts in both state and federal appellate procedure, with a successful history of identifying those issues in a client’s case that lead to the desired result from appellate justices.

 

The appellate attorneys at Archer Norris have spent years working as a team with trial counsel from the onset of a case.  In addition to handling cases at the appellate level, we also focus on teaming with trial counsel at all stages in the litigation process in order to assist in avoiding the need for an appeal and preserving any claims your clients may have.
