The presentation seeks to educate trial lawyers on issues that arise following a jury verdict, including: formulating or opposing a final judgment from the verdict (including interest and other elements); calculating post-verdict deadlines; when the judgment is "final" for purposes of appeal vs. execution; superseding the judgment (what and for how long; options); preservation of error; perfecting appeal and getting the record; advising the client on realistic appellate expectations (timing, cost, and outcomes)—including what to prove up regarding appellate attorney's fees.
