During the 2023–24 academic year, the Appellate Litigation Clinic argued four times before three appellate courts. Led by Director Thomas V. Burch, current students and recent graduates worked on the following cases:

• Third-year student Allison J. Fine argued the case N’Jai v. Department of Education before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Third-year students E. Hope Garrison and Robert G. “Rob” Wedge helped brief the case and prepare Fine for the argument.
• In the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, third-year students Andrew C. Haygood and Joshua H. Patton argued Esteban-Lopez v. Garland. Third-year student Kendra Hansey Õiglane helped the pair to prepare for the court appearance.
• Additionally, clinic members presented two cases before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit. Third-year students Madeleine B. “Maddie” Hoss and Benjamin K. “Ben” Price argued Stout v. Preston County Sheriff’s Department. Both Hoss and Price assisted with the briefs. Third-year student Leila Y. Harrison helped the pair get ready for the argument. In the second case, Hernandez-Diaz v. Garland, third-year student Jake R. Shatzer argued while second-year student Vladyslav “Vlad” Rudzinsky and 2023 alumnus Justin W. Tilghman assisted with the briefs. Third-year student Max J. Abramson aided Shatzer with his preparations. Of note, the court ruled in favor of Hoss and Price.
