About Shoshana
Shoshana Kunin-Leavitt is admitted to practice in Nevada and before the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. She appears in both state and federal settings and maintains a practice that straddles trial-level matters and appellate procedures. Her admissions reflect a practice that operates across different procedural regimes.
After completing her legal training, Kunin-Leavitt began her professional work in Nevada. Early in her career she took on a range of courtroom responsibilities common to litigators: drafting pleadings, developing case strategy, and guiding matters through pretrial stages. Those early years established a practical sense for how cases move from initial filings to more complicated procedural stages.
As her practice developed she encountered the particular demands of appellate work. Admission to the D.C. Circuit permits counsel to file briefs and seek oral argument at one of the nation’s principal appellate forums. That credential matters for clients whose disputes touch on federal agency decisions or complex federal questions. Kunin-Leavitt’s credentials allow her to pursue remedies in that setting when a client’s matter warrants it.
In Nevada she has navigated state rules and local practice. Representing clients in Nevada courts requires attention to procedural deadlines and local customs. She has advised on those topics and has participated in contested proceedings where timing and procedural posture were decisive elements. The mix of state practice and federal appellate admission gives her a practical perspective on where a dispute might be best resolved.
Her work has involved briefing and oral advocacy. These are distinct skills. Briefing demands clear legal analysis and tight organization. Oral argument requires concise answers under pressure. Both matter in appellate settings and influence how trial courts approach thorny legal questions on remand.
Today Kunin-Leavitt continues to practice in Nevada and has the standing to appear before the D.C. Circuit when clients’ appeals reach that forum. She represents clients in state court matters and handles appellate filings that may proceed to federal appellate review.
