E147 | Overcoming Obstacles on the Path to Becoming an Appellate Lawyer | Milo Bobbitt

Milo Bobbitt built an appellate practice from scratch at his firm. After an internship with then-Justice Willett at the Texas Supreme Court, he successfully defended a significant oil and gas contract victory on appeal, complete with a quote from the movie “Armageddon” in the opinion. “I was writing a new brief about every month for eight months straight,” Milo recalls to hosts Todd Smith and Jody Sanders. Tune in as he offers practical strategies, such as volunteering for pro bono appeals and dispositive motions, for attorneys looking to develop appellate skills. As someone who has faced challenges – including being born partially deaf – Milo also stresses the importance of mentors and encourages new lawyers to take advantage of Texas’s collegial appellate bar. 0:00 Intro 1:06 Growing Up In North Idaho 2:30 Selling Everything And Moving To Texas 3:45 Born Partially Deaf & Early Challenges Learning To Read And Write 4:34 Choosing Texas A&M Law & Its Meteoric Rise 09:18 1L Year & Internship With Justice (Now Judge) Willett 11:49 Improving Legal Writing 22:01 First Major Appeal: Defending The “Red Ferrari” Win 31:29 Advice For Young Appellate Lawyers 40:23 Career Goals, Supreme Court Aspirations & Giving Back -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Texas Appellate Law Podcast Episode 147 Original Air Date: April 3, 2025 The views expressed by the participants of this podcast are their own, and not those of their law firms, courts, or employers.
