District Courts of Appeal

District Courts of Appeal are intermediate courts in the U.S. legal system that review cases appealed from trial courts within their specific geographic regions. They do not conduct trials but instead evaluate whether the law was correctly applied in lower court decisions. Their rulings help ensure consistent interpretation of laws across the state. These courts typically handle civil, criminal, and administrative cases, providing an essential level of review before cases potentially reach higher courts like the state Supreme Court. They aim to resolve legal disputes efficiently while upholding judicial accuracy and fairness.
