Download or read book Appellate Review of Trial Court Decisions written by J. Eric Smithburn and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 712 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the different standards of review is necessary to the lawyer's informed reading of the appellate opinion. Further, the lawyer should use standard of review to discuss with the client the nature of the trial court's decision and the likelihood of success on review. If the client understands the difference between questions of law, which are reviewed de novo, and discretionary decisions, which are generally deferred to unless unreasonable, he or she will form realistic expectations about the trial and whether to consider an appeal. This casebook discusses the role of appellate courts and the history of appellate review and presents an overview of the concepts of scope of review and standard of review. It is organized into chapters on the different standards of review and includes notes and questions. The book is adaptable to a lecture-discussion format or as a classroom adjunct to a seminar-research paper arrangement.

Download or read book Appellate Courts written by Daniel John Meador and published by LexisNexis/Matthew Bender. This book was released on 2006 with total page 1198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edition promises to redefine the canon of the study of appellate courts, continuing the comprehensiveness and increasing the depth of the First Edition. This edition of Appellate Courts provides teachers with choices that are suitable for a two- or three-unit course or a seminar. The book permits emphasis on either appellate jurisdiction and practice or on the structural and policy aspects of appellate court organization and administration. All the chapters have been revamped and updated, with coverage of appellate jurisdiction substantially expanded. Using both classic and new cases, the book examines theoretical and practical issues arising from the appellate courts' dual roles to correct trial court error and to generate common law. Its coverage of the dramatic rise in the volume of appeals and the resultant institutional reforms far surpasses that of any other law school course book. Fresh materials present new perspectives on appellate structures, personnel, and procedures--preparing students to practice in the contemporary state and federal appellate courts. This provocative book considers such issues as the delegation of responsibility to law clerks and staff attorneys, the threats to judicial collegiality, the selection of state and federal judges--including the regulation of judicial candidates' speech, and the role and ethics of the appellate lawyer. It devotes a separate chapter to the U.S. Supreme Court's discretionary jurisdiction while another chapter draws upon Professor Meador's unique understanding of the English and German appellate systems to contrast those systems with our own. In short, this book is unique in not only exploring appellate jurisdiction and procedure but also in taking the measure of the appellate courts in all their dimensions as important institutions in the American legal order. The Teacher's Manual also has been updated and greatly expanded to assist both experienced and less-experienced teachers. It includes discussion of the principal cases and secondary materials as well as expert suggestions concerning answers to questions posed in the Notes. It also provides a wealth of supplemental material to bolster any professor's expertise and make it easy for an instructor new to the subject to teach from the book effectively and confidently.

Download or read book Florida Black Letter Citations written by R. Bronson and published by . This book was released on 2019-09-05 with total page 66 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Black letter laws are legal rules that are so established or engrained in our jurisprudence that they are no longer subject to reasonable dispute. In your line of work--that is, legal writing--you often refer to black letter laws to state the various standards that an appellate court should apply to the cases under its review. The goal of this book is to make that job easier.This book is organized by general topics, each containing succinct propositions of appellate review. Each proposition is then followed by one or more case citations from the Florida Supreme Court and each of the five district courts of appeal. Each citation also includes an excerpt from the case that supports the stated proposition. The objective is to allow you to quickly and easily craft strong sentences about appellate review by using the language and case citations contained in this book. For example, say you are representing the appellee in an appeal over an evidentiary ruling, but the appellant did not object to the introduction of the evidence. Using the language and case citations in this book, you could quickly craft the following paragraph:The standard of review that applies is an abuse of discretion, and if reasonable people could disagree about the propriety of the trial court's decision, this court must affirm. See Canakaris v. Canakaris, 382 So. 2d 1197, 1203 (Fla. 1980) ('In reviewing a true discretionary act, the appellate court must fully recognize the superior vantage point of the trial judge and should apply the "reasonableness" test to determine whether the trial judge abused his discretion. If reasonable men could differ as to the propriety of the action taken by the trial court, then the action is not unreasonable and there can be no finding of an abuse of discretion. The discretionary ruling of the trial judge should be disturbed only when his decision fails to satisfy this test of reasonableness."); see also Adams v. Adams, 511 So. 2d 743, 744 (Fla. 5th DCA 1987) ("Because reasonable men could disagree, there was no abuse of discretion . . . ."). However, Appellant did not object to the introduction of the evidence at issue in this appeal. Accordingly, the issue Appellant presents is not preserved for this court's review. See Brown & Williamson Tobacco Corp. v. Carter, 848 So. 2d 365, 368 (Fla. 1st DCA 2003) ("Nothing is more basic to our function as a court of review than the principle that error, other than fundamental error, must be preserved by an appropriate objection in the trial court." (first citing Dober v. Worrell, 401 So.2d 1322, 1323-24 (Fla.1981); then citing Keech v. Yousef, 815 So.2d 718, 719-20 (Fla. 5th DCA 2002); and then citing Smithwick v. Television 12 of Jacksonville, Inc., 730 So.2d 795, 797 (Fla. 1st DCA 1999))). Accordingly, Appellant cannot meet her burden of showing that an error has occured, see Livingston v. State, 219 So. 3d 911, 915 (Fla. 2d DCA 2017) ("It is axiomatic that the appellant 'bears the burden of demonstrating that an error occurred in the trial court.' " (quoting Goodwin v. State, 751 So. 2d 537, 544 (Fla. 1999))), and this court must therefore affirm.That is a winning paragraph, and it was constructed in a matter of minutes using the propositions and case law provided in this book. With this book, you will be able to easily and quickly craft strong statements regarding appellate review as well.About the author: R. Bronson is a licensed attorney who has practiced in Florida for the last eight years. His primary focus has been the study and practice of appellate law. He currently serves as an elbow clerk for a district court of appeal judge.
