	FSM Constitution - Article 11
		The proper procedure, in accordance with Kosrae State law and the FSM appellate rules, in filing a notice of appeal from a decision of the Kosrae State Court is to file notice in both Kosrae State Court and the FSM Supreme Court, either with the trial division in Kosrae or directly with the appellate division.
		The appellate division of the Supreme Court of the FSM may accept direct filing of a case and an expedited briefing schedule may be established where there is limited time available and prompt resolution of the issues in the case is decidedly in the nat.
		Normally the trial court fashions the remedies and sanctions for failure of a party to comply with discovery requirements and the exercise of the trial court's discretion should not be disturbed by an appellate court absent a showing that the trial court's action has unfairly resulted in substantial hardship and prejudice to a party.

	Encyclopedia article on Appellate court [EncycloZine] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Generally speaking the appellate court examines the record of evidence presented in the trial court and the law that the lower court applied and decides whether that decision was legally sound or not.
		If the appellate court does find a legal defect in the decision "below" (i.e., in the lower court), it may "modify" the ruling to correct the defect, or it may nullify ("reverse" or "vacate") the whole decision or any part of it.
		This would be the proper standard of review, for example, if the lower court resolved the case by a pre-trial summary judgment motion to dismiss which is usually based only upon written submissions to the trial court and not on any trial testimony.

	How Appealing (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Some appellate judges profess that the skills necessary to be a successful appellate advocate differ meaningfully from the skills needed to be a successful attorney in the trial court.
		My guess, and it is only a guess, is that the rule stems from a concern that the trial judge might have a subliminal tendency to reinforce his or her earlier disposition of a case (for example, in the course of evidentiary rulings) in the handling of the second trial.
		You have received federal appellate court rulings that reverse your decisions as a trial judge, and you have written and joined in federal appellate court rulings that reverse the decisions of other trial judges.

	Tasini v. New York Times, Appellate Court Opinion - Special Libraries Association
		On cross motions for summary judgment, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York held that appellees' use of the articles was protected by the "privilege" afforded to publishers of "collective works" under Section 201(c) of the Copyright Act of 1976 ("Act" or "1976 Act"), 17 U.S.C. 201(c).
		The district court held that making the articles available on the databases constitutes a revision of the individual periodicals and that appellees' licensing arrangements were protected under Section 201(c).
		However, we agree with the district court that paragraph (a) of that agreement does not authorize such a license, and the record is clear that Time cannot invoke the conditional license provided in paragraphs (b) and (c).
