Preservation of Issues for Appellate Review

No ruling of the trial court, disciplinary board, commission, or other tribunal before which the case was initially heard will be considered as a basis for reversal unless an objection was stated with reasonable certainty at the time of the ruling, except for good cause shown or to enable this Court to attain the ends of justice. A mere statement that the judgment or award is contrary to the law and the evidence is not sufficient to preserve the issue for appellate review. Promulgated by Order dated Friday, April 30, 2010; effective July 1, 2010. Last amended by Order dated November 1, 2021; effective January 1, 2022.
