Appellate – advice on merits and advocacy.

Although successful appellate advocacy depends on many of the same skills possessed by successful trial lawyers, the demands placed on those skills are different. An appellate lawyer must be able to critically analyse his or her client’s case and identify the best argument against, or in support of, the decision of the Court below and present that argument so as to convince the appellate Court that what he or she is asking them to do is best—both in this case and in the cases that will follow.
