appeals courts

Appeals courts are higher courts that review decisions made by lower trial courts. When a party believes a legal error affected the outcome of a case, they can ask an appeals court to review the decision. The appeals court doesn’t retry the case but examines whether the law was applied correctly and procedures were followed. If they find errors, they can reverse or modify the lower court’s decision or send the case back for further proceedings. Appeals courts play a crucial role in ensuring legal consistency and fairness within the judicial system.
