0 tracked cards Civil Procedure

After final judgment in a federal civil case, the appellant challenges a statutory interpretation ruling, a factual finding made by the judge after a bench trial, and an evidentiary ruling excluding a late-disclosed exhibit.
Which statement best describes the usual appellate standards of review?

Choose the Best Answer

Legal conclusions are generally reviewed de novo, factual findings for clear error, and discretionary rulings for abuse of discretion. Evidentiary rulings are always reviewed for clear error. Factual findings after a bench trial are reviewed de novo because appellate judges did not hear the witnesses. The standard of review depends only on which party won below.
