Court of Special Appeals

The Court of Special Appeals is an intermediate appellate court that reviews decisions made by lower trial courts to ensure the law was applied correctly. It doesn't conduct new trials but examines whether legal procedures were followed and if the law was properly interpreted. Its role is to correct errors and provide a check on trial courts, helping ensure justice and consistency in the legal process. This court helps maintain fairness by allowing parties to challenge decisions they believe were legally incorrect before potentially escalating to a state's highest court.
