How to Appeal a Military Court-Martial Conviction or Sentence
You appeal a military court-martial conviction to your service's Court of Criminal Appeals, then to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces.This process runs under the Uniform Code of Military Justice(UCMJ), a federal system that applies nationwide, so New York state courts play no part. A conviction can cost you rank, pay, your freedom, and a clean record, so the real question is whether review can change that outcome. Military courts can do more than a civilian appeal allows, reviewing the facts and the sentence, not only legal error. This guide shows the grounds, the deadlines, and the courts involved, so you can decide whether to pursue review and how to protect your chances.

Business Litigation Attorney: 3 Strategies to Spot Risks and Prevent Succession Disputes
Succession disputes rarely turn on ambiguous language. They turn on provisions nobody wrote. Valuation is where the money is. An agreement that says "fair market value" without specifying method, appraiser selection, and whether minority and marketability discounts apply has not resolved the question — it has deferred it to two experts who will arrive at figures multiples apart. The discount question alone can halve a departing owner's payout. Triggers are usually incomplete. Death and retirement are covered. Divorce, bankruptcy, incapacity, competition, and removal for cause frequently are not, and those are the events that actually produce litigation. An unfunded obligation is not an obligation. A buy-sell that requires the company to purchase shares it cannot afford fails at the moment it is needed, and New York restricts redemptions by a company that cannot pay its debts. The strongest leverage is not in the agreement at all. Under BCL § 1104-a, a shareholder holding twenty percent or more of a closely held corporation may petition for dissolution on grounds of oppression — and the corporation may respond by electing to buy the petitioner out at fair value under § 1118. That statutory path exists regardless of what the shareholders' agreement provides, and it reframes every negotiation around it.
