Description
Appellate Courts: Structures, Functions, Processes, and Personnel 2nd Edition Daniel Meador ISBN 9780820570150
Appellate Courts, Second Edition redefines the study of appellate courts by building on the breadth of the First Edition while offering deeper and more comprehensive coverage. This edition provides instructors with flexible options suitable for a two- or three-unit course or a seminar, allowing emphasis either on appellate jurisdiction and practice or on the structural and policy dimensions of appellate court organization and administration. Every chapter has been thoroughly revised and updated, with significantly expanded coverage of appellate jurisdiction.
Combining classic and contemporary cases, the book explores both theoretical and practical issues stemming from appellate courts’ dual roles: correcting trial court errors and developing common law. It addresses the dramatic increase in appellate caseloads and resulting institutional reforms, providing students with insights that surpass other law school texts. New materials offer fresh perspectives on appellate court structures, personnel, and procedures, equipping students to practice effectively in modern state and federal appellate courts.
The text engages with key topics such as the delegation of responsibilities to law clerks and staff attorneys, threats to judicial collegiality, the selection and regulation of state and federal judges, and the ethical obligations of appellate lawyers. Separate chapters examine the U.S. Supreme Court’s discretionary jurisdiction and provide a comparative perspective, drawing on Professor Meador’s expertise in the English and German appellate systems.
In sum, this edition not only covers appellate jurisdiction and procedure but also offers a comprehensive evaluation of appellate courts as vital institutions in the American legal system.
The updated Teacher’s Manual has been greatly expanded to support both experienced and new instructors. It includes discussions of key cases and secondary materials, suggested answers to notes and questions, and a wealth of supplemental content designed to enhance teaching and ensure confidence in presenting the material effectively.

Rental Terms
Return by May 25, 2027 for Spring 2027 rentals.
- Late Fees
- Books returned after the semester deadline accrue a weekly late fee of about 10% of the book's Brand New price, for each copy that is overdue. The rent you have already paid counts toward the book's replacement value (its Brand New price), so late fees stop once your rent plus late fees reach it. That replacement value is the most a rental can ever cost you. We email a reminder 48 hours before any charge, and any late fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout.
- Damage Fees
- Books returned damaged beyond normal classroom wear may be assessed a damage fee, capped at the book's replacement value (its Brand New price). Any damage fees are charged to the payment method you save at checkout after we inspect the returned book.
- Return Shipping
- Returning your book is free with no deduction if it reaches us by your semester return date, or after it's already overdue. Print a prepaid label (USPS or UPS, whichever is cheaper for your package) from your account's My Rentals page. Returning it early and shipping it back within 30 days of your order date gets you a refund minus a 15% restocking fee and the label cost. After 30 days, an early return is free, with no refund.
- 30-Day Refund Window
- Changed your mind? Cancel before your book ships and it’s free: open the order under My Account → Orders and click Cancel next to the book. Once it has shipped, you can return a rental for a refund from My Account → My Rentals. To qualify, the book must be shipped back within 30 days of your order date. We refund the rental price minus a 15% restocking fee and the return label cost, released once we receive your book. Shipping is non-refundable. A rental shipped back after 30 days is a regular end-of-semester return, with no refund.
