The NYS Indigent Legal Services’ Statewide Appellate Support Center, "SASC," offers a wealth of information for Appellate attorneys.  SASC can provide panel members with templates for appeals on common issues, brainstorm issues on an appeal, help organize a brief and put together a panel for a moot court style argument.  In addition, they can provide guidance on post-conviction issues including filing a notice of appeal, assisting a client with seeking appellant counsel as well as advice on CPL 440.10, 440.20 and CPL 440.47 (Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act or DVSJA) motions.  

The SASC can be contacted by email at this address: SASC@ils.ny.gov and information about the SASC can be found here: NYS ILS Statewide Appellate Support Center
