What Mistakes Should Be Avoided Before Approaching the Supreme Court?

5 Mistakes To Avoid When Going To Supreme Court

SUPREME COURT cases aren’t easy cases to prepare. Many people lose faith in our justice system or loose simply because they attempt to go to the Supreme Court without knowing the procedure or understanding how appellate jurisdiction works.

Believing that “Every” Matter can be heard by the Supreme Court:

Just because you lost in Court previously doesn’t mean that the Supreme Court will hear your matter. The Supreme Court is not a first appeal court. You should know what law applies to your facts and what remedy you should be looking for prior to instituting any proceedings.

Neglecting Limitation: 

Each individual type of proceeding has limitation requirements. Even if time has become an issue there may be remedies available to you. These remedies are very fact sensitive and reason specific.

Instituting a Proceeding without all records: 

Orders, pleadings and evidence (O.P.E) along with other important documents will be required when starting Supreme Court proceedings. In some cases these records will be used to frame the matter correctly.

Thinking you are entitled to a certain result:

No Attorney will ever be able to guarantee you a specific result. Facts, Evidence, applicable law and judicial discretion factor into every decision.

An experienced Advocate will sit down with you, discuss the merits of your case and fully explain any potential limitations and reality of your situation prior to proceeding with your matter.
