Goodwin Procter attorneys regularly brief and argue appeals before federal and state appellate courts throughout the country. We have an active appellate practice in the U.S. Supreme Court, in the federal courts of appeals, and, increasingly in recent years, in the highest courts of numerous states. Because many of our lawyers have had clerkships in the Supreme Court or in federal circuit courts of appeals, we are familiar with the practices and preferences of these courts.

Several of our lawyers have served as Assistant to the Solicitor General, briefing and arguing cases in the Supreme Court on behalf of the United States. Other lawyers have had extensive appellate experience while practicing at the firm. As a result, we are often retained at the appellate or Supreme Court stage of a case. In addition, Goodwin Procter is often retained to prepare amicus curiae briefs in federal and state appellate courts and in the Supreme Court. less »
