Attorney David S. Rich Expands Legal Reach with Admission to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit

On December 31, 2024, David S. Rich gained admission to practice before the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit (the “Third Circuit”), denoting a significant accomplishment in Mr. Rich’s distinguished legal career. This milestone emphasizes Mr. Rich’s devotion to providing unmatched advocacy in appellate litigation for companies and individuals in the states of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Delaware.

The Third Circuit is headquartered in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It has appellate jurisdiction over the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, the U.S. District Courts for the Eastern, Middle, and Western Districts of Pennsylvania, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.

The Third Circuit also hears appeals from the District Court of the Virgin Islands. Because of the Third Circuit’s appellate jurisdiction over Delaware, where more than half of the publicly-traded companies in the United States incorporate, the court handles a significant number of influential commercial cases in the United States.

With this admission, Mr. Rich joins a select fraternity of New Jersey Federal Appeals Lawyers authorized to represent clients before the Third Circuit. The primary means of being considered for admission to practice in the Third Circuit is for an attorney applicant to be sponsored by an existing member of the Third Circuit’s bar. This sponsorship process highlights the rigorous standards and the exclusivity of the Third Circuit’s bar.

Advocacy for Complex Federal Appeals

Prosecuting and defending federal appeals requires a thorough mastery of federal appellate processes and of substantive law. What differentiates David S. Rich as a New Jersey Federal Appeals Attorney is that Mr. Rich prepares compelling briefs that clearly describe any reversible errors in trial courts’ decisions or judgments. So, too, Mr. Rich presents persuasive oral arguments to appellate panels. With these abilities, Mr. Rich is uniquely poised to serve both businesses and individuals who are prosecuting or defending appeals in the Third Circuit. Mr. Rich brings together assiduous preparation and strategic appellate advocacy.

“Achieving admission to the Third Circuit highlights my commitment to furthering my clients’ interests at the highest levels of the federal judiciary,” says Mr. Rich. “I look forward to using my experience and acumen to deliver exceptional results to clients in complex federal appeals.”
