Appellate Division (New York)

The Appellate Division is a part of the New York State court system that handles appeals, meaning it reviews decisions made by lower trial courts. It ensures that the law was applied correctly and that the rights of the parties involved were upheld. The Appellate Division is divided into four departments, each covering a specific geographical area of New York. If someone believes a trial outcome was unfair or legally incorrect, they can appeal to this court for a reconsideration of the case. Its rulings can set important legal precedents and influence future cases.
