When I go to the Supreme Court, may I do this.

[Nugo]

Soc,

I'm confused on Supreme Court Appeals and what gets heard.  You and I have discussed that I could argue with the Family Court found in error, based on testimony, or that they exercised bad judgement (whatever that term is).  

I've already filed a Supreme Court appeal, although the Family Court judge is now reviewing a motion I filed in October, asking for a "reconsideration of court decision."

I had to file the Supreme Court appeal because of the limitations on time as I understood it, even though there is a remote chance that the Family Court will decide in my favor based on new evidence that I submitted with my plea to have them reconsider, which, as I stated, is currently under Family Court review.

1.  Will the Supreme Court accept new evidence or only listen to an argument against Family Court findings vs. Family Court testimony?

2.  Will the Supreme Court accept old evidence, whether it was used in the Family Court or not?

3.  Is there any such thing as a "legal low blow?"  I plan to use every weapon.

Thank you!

An appellate court will only consider evidence on the record of the trial court. No new evidence will be permitted.

No.

You'll need to ask Professor Dumbeldore about this question -- it's over my head.
