Court of Appeals of Colorado

The Court of Appeals of Colorado is an intermediate appellate court that reviews decisions made by lower trial courts to ensure they follow the law correctly. It does not hold new trials or hear evidence but evaluates whether legal procedures were properly followed and if the law was applied correctly. Its purpose is to provide a fair review process and help ensure uniformity in legal decisions across the state. The court considers appeals in civil, criminal, and administrative cases, making the justice system more effective by providing a check on trial court rulings before they may be challenged further in the Colorado Supreme Court.
