Direct Review

A direct review is an appeal process used by certain courts, like the U.S. Supreme Court, to evaluate specific cases without first going through lower courts. It allows the higher court to directly assess issues related to federal law or constitutional rights raised in cases from specialized courts or agencies. This process is usually limited to important legal questions or cases with significant public interest. In essence, it streamlines the review process for complex legal matters, enabling a higher court to provide a definitive interpretation or decision more efficiently.
