About Frederick Paul
Frederick Paul Korkosz is admitted to practice in two separate but closely connected forums: the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit and the State of New York. That dual admission shapes the work he accepts and the arguments he advances. It positions him to move between federal appellate dockets and state court matters as circumstances require.
Little public information has been provided about his early education or the firms and offices where he has worked. What is clear from the available record is his standing before the Second Circuit and his license to practice in New York. Those credentials allow him to represent clients in federal appellate proceedings and to appear in state court matters across New York.
Attorneys practicing in those venues typically handle a mix of appellate briefs, petitions for rehearing, and oral arguments. They also weigh procedural questions that arise at the intersection of state and federal law. Mr. Korkosz’s admissions indicate he is prepared to address those issues in both a state and a federal appellate context. He is positioned to take on the drafting and advocacy such work requires.
Colleagues and opposing counsel tend to measure an appellate lawyer by writing and argument. Clear, concise briefs and crisp oral presentation are central. For lawyers admitted to the Second Circuit and to New York, the calendar often includes preservation of trial records, evaluation of standards of review, and strategy for preserving issues for appeal. These are the practical matters that shape case strategy in appellate work.
Outside of court appearances, practitioners in these jurisdictions often collaborate with trial counsel, review trial transcripts, and advise clients on the realistic prospects of reversal or settlement. They also monitor changing precedent from the Second Circuit and the New York courts, because those decisions guide strategy in pending matters. That interplay between precedent and case-specific fact patterns is a regular part of appellate practice.
As of 2026, Mr. Korkosz maintains his admissions to the Second Circuit and to New York and continues to practice under those licenses. His current practice focuses on appellate and litigation matters in New York and before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
