Appeals Processes

The appeals process is a legal procedure that allows a person to challenge a decision made by a court or administrative body. If a party believes the decision was incorrect due to errors in law or procedure, they can file an appeal to a higher court. The appeal typically involves submitting written arguments, and sometimes, oral arguments in front of judges who review the case. They can uphold the original decision, reverse it, or send it back for further review. The appeals process ensures that legal decisions are fair and just, providing a means for correction of potential mistakes.
