COURT CRIER

Myrna Felder, a matrimonial attorney at both the trial and appellate level, as a
member of the Board of Directors of the Office of the Appellate Defender, was

its inception twenty-eight years ago.

of Appellate Jurisdiction, Ms. Felder organized the State Bar’s day-long CLE
program on New York appellate practice and has been a frequent lecturer on appellate practice
for the Appellate Division, First Department; the New York State Bar Association; the American Bar
Association; the Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York; and other bar groups. Ms.
Felder serves on the Subcommittee on Appellate Practice of the New York State Office of Court
Administration’s Advisory Committee on Civil Practice, of which she has been a member since 1983,
