In this episode, Ryan interviews David Clark, the former director of the Georgia Public Defender Council's Appellate Division. David talks about developing skill in issue-spotting, how he marks up transcripts without making a digest, and how he approaches requesting oral argument.
In the lightining around, David shares a controversial opinion on "(cleaned up)" and his approach to drafting an introduction section that will make clerks and judges eager to read the rest of the brief.
