How to Win on Appeal: Make Your Record Clear

To give your client the best chance to win on appeal, attorneys must work to ensure that the court record is clear, says Wisconsin Appeals Court Judge Mary Lazar.
“You have to make the record clear because when it goes up to the court of appeals, it’s black and white, it’s just the words. There’s nothing else,” says Lazar.
That means, for example, attorneys should make sure all of their exhibits introduced during the trial are admitted into evidence.
Lazar presented at the State Bar of Wisconsin's 2023 Annual Meeting & Conference. Her session was “Making the Record: Tips for Winning at the Trial and Appellate Courts.”

Hello I live in California just got divorced I’m aware of the state laws same of bill of rights so “””before buying a property”” I did invoked my 4th amendment right granted to every citizens that lives within the 50 states of the union, I stated very clear that the property will be a separate property so to make it short wife signed a quick claim deed with a licensed notary person and everything was accepted at escrow somehow she found out the CA state judges have been ignoring people fundamental rights so she filed divorce now I’m forced to sell my full paid property . Now I’m trying to file an appeal regarding a violation of my 4th amendment right technically my house was expropriated in top of that a violation of the expropriation rules according to US CODE 2370a. I thought I was protected because this and future issues were addressed 216 years ago in a supreme curt at Marbury vs Madison case All laws repugnant to the constitution are null and void

Right - lawyers and judges often do whatever will result in more money for themselves - as in kickbacks or legal fees or contingency fees from their clients.
