Court Appeals

Court appeals are legal processes where a party asks a higher court to review and potentially change the decision made by a lower court. If someone believes the initial ruling was incorrect due to legal errors or unfair procedures, they can appeal. The appellate court examines the case's record, legal arguments, and applicable laws, but generally does not reassess factual evidence. The goal is to ensure the law was correctly applied. An appeal can result in upholding, reversing, or modifying the original decision, and it provides an opportunity for corrective oversight within the judicial system.
