How do you prepare for an appeal before you even start drafting?

For Lady Justice Geraldine Andrews, it begins with the end: knowing what you want to be able to say to the judge, then working backwards from there.

From identifying what needs to be established to deciding how best to prove it, her approach is a reminder that good advocacy is not just about knowing the case. It is about knowing exactly where you are trying to take the court.
