The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process Publishes Winter 2025 Issue
The University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law and the National Institute for Trial Advocacy have released the Winter 2025 issue of The Journal of Appellate Practice and Process (Volume 25, Issue 1). The issue includes articles on AI, standards of review, federal court quality management practices and more.
“I hope that this issue provides opportunities for our readers to explore something new and to learn from experts on these important topics,” writes Journal Editor-in-Chief Tessa L. Dysart, assistant vice provost of Native American Initiatives at the University of Arizona and assistant director of legal writing at Arizona Law.
The first article by Professor Michael J. Hasday explores possible paths to prove the superior accuracy of robot judges, thus making the use of robot judges both more accurate and more efficient than human judges. The issue concludes with two book reviews. First, Justice Gerald Lebovits reviews the first-ever casebook on legal writing—The Case for Effective Legal Writing. Written by Associate Clinical Professor Diana Simon from Arizona Law and Professor Mark Cooney. Finally, Professor Sylvia J. Lett reviews Justice Stephen Breyer’s latest book, Reading the Constitution: Why I Chose Pragmatism, Not Textualism.
Additional contributors include Brian Sutherland, Complex Appellate Litigation Group; Jarrett B. Perlow, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit; and Colleen Garrity Settineri, The Ohio State University Moritz College of Law.
