Answer to Question 1

The case would be brought in the general trial court in Montana. Timberline is the plaintiff and Teal is the defendant. On appeal, Timberline is the appellant. The trial court must have committed a reversible error such as admitting evidence that should not have been admitted or giving incorrect jury instructions or allowing a biased juror to participate.

Answer to Question 2

Religious standards are absolute standards. As such, these standards do not change through time so they can always be used. It is also easier to compare a company's ethical code or standards against a fixed - rather than relative - standard. Many religious standards also speak to economic issues as well.
