Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question

In a federal civil lawsuit, the trial court issues an order that significantly affects one party's rights before the conclusion of the trial. The affected party wishes to challenge this decision right away rather than awaiting the trial's end. According to the collateral order doctrine, which statement best describes the possibility of appealing this decision before the trial finishes?

  • The order can be reviewed through a motion for judicial reconsideration.

  • The order can be appealed now if both parties agree to proceed with an early appeal.

  • The order becomes eligible for appeal after the trial has concluded.

  • The order can be challenged at this stage as it determines important rights and is independent of the trial's result.
