About Elizabeth Ann
Elizabeth Ann Ritter earned her Juris Doctor in the early 1980s and has spent many years practicing in California. She completed her J.D. at Southwestern University School of Law in 1983. Since then she has maintained a career that consists of work in both state and federal forums.
Her time at Southwestern coincided with a period of difference in law school training and practice. She entered the bar shortly after graduation and began dealing with matters that required familiarity with California procedure as well as federal appellate guidelines. The study room training translated shortly into courtroom experience and appellate briefing.
Over the years Ritter has appeared in hearings before the Ninth Circuit and in a number of California courts. Those admissions shape the contours of her practice. Appearing in the Ninth Circuit requires attention to complicated appellate guidelines and a capacity to border legal questions in crisp, written argument. California courtroom work needs a diverse tact: nearer interaction with truth development, evidence-gathering process and trial-level procedures.
Her career has unfolded primarily in private practice. She has spent so much of her time preparing briefs, arguing motions and advising clients on litigation approach. The blend of trial-level and appellate work means she often moves among detailed factual history and higher-degree legal matters. That stability is a regular feature of her expert lifestyles.
Ritter currently practices at Ritter & LeClere apc. The firm serves clients in things that fall beneath state legal authority in addition to the ones that may attain the federal appellate bench. Colleagues and clients come upon an attorney familiar with both the mechanics of California litigation and the procedures of the Ninth Circuit.
She stays lively in litigation and appellate work in California and before the Ninth Circuit, and her current practice concentrates on matters introduced in California state courts and on appeals argued to the federal appellate degree.
