They are best friends and decide to start a business together, PTS Partners, that offers consulting services to middle school girls. The business operates exclusively in New Jersey. PTS is wildly successful, but after a few years Margaret and Nancy have a disagreement they cannot resolve. Nancy forcibly buys Margaret out of the partnership.

Group of answer choices Nancy must allow Margaret to rejoin the partnership Nancy has no additional legal options and should pay Margaret what she owes Nancy can appeal to the United States Supreme Court Nancy must apologize to Margaret Nancy can petition the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari
In this scenario, if the New Jersey Supreme Court agrees with the trial court's decision to exclude Nancy's key witnesses, it does not necessarily mean Nancy is out of legal options. Nancy can petition the United States Supreme Court for a writ of certiorari. This means she can request a higher court to review the lower court's decision.

Sharon sues Cady for defamation. Sharon claimed that Cady had written in a diary that Sharon is a "sad, old, drug pusher." The diary was later photocopied and distributed at Sharon's workplace. Cady denied that she had written the statement. The matter goes to trial and both sides request a jury. At trial, one of the key questions was whether Cady had, in fact, written the statement. Hoping to prove that it was Cady, Sharon's attorney plans to call Gretchen as a witness. Gretchen is a handwriting expert who will testify that Cady had done the writing. Regina, the trial judge, rules that Gretchen does not meet the appropriate qualifications to be an expert witness. As a result, Gretchen is not allowed to testify. Judge Regina tells the jury to decide whether Cady wrote the statement based on their own evaluation of Cady's handwriting. The jury eventually determined that Cady is not liable. Sharon wants to appeal. On what basis may she appeal?

Sharon can argue that excluding the handwriting expert's testimony was an abuse of discretion and prejudicial to her case. This exclusion could have significantly impacted the jury's ability to evaluate whether Cady wrote the defamatory statement.
