Alberta Court of Appeal

The Alberta Court of Appeal is the highest court in Alberta's judicial system, responsible for reviewing decisions made by lower courts, such as the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench and provincial courts. Its primary role is to ensure that the law has been correctly applied and interpreted in legal cases. The court considers appeals on civil, criminal, and constitutional matters, and its rulings help set legal precedents that guide future cases. Comprising a panel of experienced judges, the Alberta Court of Appeal functions as a crucial step in the justice system to uphold fairness, consistency, and the rule of law in the province.
