Appellate Division
The Appellate Division is a part of the judicial system that reviews decisions made by lower courts. When someone believes that a court’s ruling was incorrect due to legal errors, they can file an appeal. The appellate court examines the case based on the records and arguments from both sides, focusing on whether the law was applied correctly. It does not retry the case or hear new evidence. The goal is to ensure fairness and uphold the law, and it can uphold, reverse, or modify the lower court’s decision.

The Appellate Division is a part of the judicial system that reviews decisions made by lower courts. Its primary role is to ensure that the law was applied correctly and that legal procedures were followed properly during the original trial. If a party believes a mistake was made in their case, they can appeal to the Appellate Division, which examines the case records, hears arguments, and can either uphold the original decision, reverse it, or send the case back for a new trial. This process helps maintain fairness and consistency in the legal system.
