Your lawyer will order the trial transcript from the court reporter once your notice of appeal is filed with the intermediate-level appellate court (or state Supreme Court in some jurisdictions)

So the right answer would be, C!!

Answer:  B) US Supreme Court

Explanation:  Generally speaking, a state supreme court is the court of last resort in any state, and the US Supreme Court is the court of last resort for federal cases.  <em>US Legal </em>offers this definition of "court of last resort" -

  • <em>A court of last resort is the highest judicial body within a jurisdiction's court system. It is a court with the highest appellate authority, meaning that its rulings are not subject to further review by another court. A court of last resort is often, but not always, referred to as a supreme court.</em>

It is possible to appeal a state supreme court decision to the US Supreme Court if there is a question of law under the US Constitution.  A "question of law" means there is a question regarding interpretation of a law.  It is different from a "question of fact," which pertains to the facts of a case.  So in your example, Marcus' appeal would need to cite some matter of interpretation of law under the Constitution in order to appeal his case from his state supreme court to the US Supreme Court.

What started the civil war in Russia?
ololo11 [35]

Me kidding

There were three reasons why Civil War broke out in Russia in 1918.

The first reason was that there was bound to be a challenge to the Bolsheviks, who had seized power by a surprise coup d’état.   After 1918, their political opponents tried to reverse it.  The Bolsheviks had many enemies.   One group who wanted to destroy the Bolsheviks were the Social Revolutionaries.   At first, they had supported the November Revolution.   elections had been held in November 1917 for a new government – the Assembly – in which the Bolsheviks had won 175 seats and the Social Revolutionaries 370 seats.   However, when it met in 1918, Lenin used the Red Guards to close the Assembly, and killed anybody who objected.   The Social Revolutionaries fought back by attacking the Bolshevik government.   The Bolsheviks were also opposed by the Mensheviks (who had controlled the Provisional Government, and who they had toppled from control of the Soviets in September), and by the Tsarists (who wanted to rescue Nicholas II and put him back on the throne).   Lenin made peace with Germany (the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, in which Russia had lost much of Russia’s best agricultural and industrial land to Germany, including Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) and the former army officers were angry about this.   Also, the Bolshevik government had taken land from the Tsar and the nobles and given it to the peasants, and the civil war was supported by those landlords who had lost their land.   All these enemies of the Bolsheviks co-operated to try to bring down the Bolshevik government.

A second cause of the Civil War was the Czech Legion.   These were some Czech prisoners of war being taken across Russia who in 1918 mutinied, took control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and attacked towards Moscow.

Finally, these groups within Russia were helped by the Great Powers, angry that Russia had dropped out of the First World War.   They were afraid because the Bolsheviks believed in World Revolution – the Bolsheviks set up the Comintern, led by Zinoviev, which said it would cause communist revolutions all over the world.   Consequently, the Allies sent armies to destroy the Bolsheviks  – British, American and French armies attacked from Archangel, Ukraine, and Vladivostock.

What was the main purpose of the Southern Colonies?
emmainna [20.7K]

Answer:

Settlers in the Southern colonies came to America to seek economic prosperity they could not find in Old England. The English countryside provided a grand existence of stately manors and high living. But rural England was full, and by law those great estates could only be passed on to the eldest son.
