Appeals from the District Courts

Appeals from the District Courts refer to the process where a party dissatisfied with a court's decision seeks a higher court's review. Typically, this occurs in the appellate courts, which assess whether legal errors were made in the original case. The appellate court does not conduct a new trial or hear new evidence; instead, it examines written briefs and may hold oral arguments. If the appellate court finds significant errors, it can overturn or modify the lower court's ruling or send the case back for a new trial. This process ensures fairness and adherence to the law.
