bulletUpdated 05/16/13  Issues Pending In Criminal Cases in the Seventh CircuitThis reference tool contains a2 listing of currently pending, but not yet decided, criminal issues in the Seventh Circuit.  The database is new and incomplete at the moment.  Specifically, the database currently only includes issues in those cases where the opening, responsive, or reply brief was filed after November 5, 2012.  I will continue to add the issues for all cases where one of these pleadings has been filed after that date and update the database weekly.  After 30 or 60 days, nearly all pending issues should by then be included in the database.  The issues are organized by topic.  For an explanation of the purpose of this reference tool and how to use it, please read the "Preface" in the document. 
bullet Second Edition Handbook for Criminal Appeals in the Seventh Circuit:  This updated handbook authored by our office is a guide for any lawyer litigating a criminal appeal in the Seventh Circuit.  It contains a step-by-step guide to the appellate process, from the filing of the notice of appeal to seeking certiorari in the United States Supreme Court and CJA voucher submission.  In addition to the ten chapters on all aspects of criminal appellate practice in the Seventh Circuit, there are also 40 sample motions and 15 sample letters frequently used by lawyers on appeal.
