No worries folks, we're not going to be giving anyone free legal research for their appeals here. But we are going to look at what makes some appeal issues good and others weak, so we can get a sense of the strategy involved in deciding what arguments to make. If she lets her lawyers make the decisions, these are some of the considerations that will guide them. But if she tries to use the appeal as a tool it's not intended for - to relitigate whether she lied - she can kiss her chances of success goodbye.

00:00 Intro
01:02 Are we talking about the facts, or the law?
03:55 What kind of legal ruling is being challenged?
06:06 Pure issues of law are the best because they get de novo review
07:42 Evidentiary rulings are discretionary, so get more respect
09:33 If Amber wants to nitpick exclusion/admission of evidence, she can, but it's weak
11:12 If it wasn't argued to Judge White or Judge A, it's waived for appeal
13:07 Some of the rulings they'll be choosing from
14:29 The final consideration ... preparing for higher courts
16:39 Thinking about what the US Supreme Court would be thinking about
18:02 The bottom line
19:02 Update on appeal deadlines
19:47 Of course I also have a personal opinion
