"Countless articles have been published over the years--in North Carolina and beyond--advising practitioners about the latest case law updates or appellate rule amendments." Appellate literature appears thin on whether filing an appeal in the trial court is a god idea. Ten questions in this article are posed for helpful insight.

Abstract:

"North Carolina remains the lone state in this republic to lack a certification mechanism from a federal court to its state 's court of last resort." The author submits a constitutional provision permitting the superior court "to serve as an allowable first stop in the General Court of Justice for receiving and answering a certified question from a federal court.".
