Congratulations are in order to Appellate Practice Section members Quintin Byrd and former Justice Samuel Ervin for becoming the most recent North Carolina Board Certified Legal Specialists in Appellate Practice!

The full list of 2024 specialists for all practice areas can be found online.

To become a certified appellate practice specialist, there are certain requirements including devoting a significant amount of hours each year to the practice area, obtaining CLE credits in appellate practice, peer review, and passing an exam. If you are interested in learning more about the specific requirements, information can be found on the State Bar’s website.

Further, we have many section members who have achieved specialization status and are happy to answer any questions you have.

Next year’s application should become available in March, and the applications are typically due around May 1. Congrats and best wishes!

Amie Sivon is the Chair of the Appellate Practice Council.
