Federal Appeals Court

A Federal Appeals Court is a higher-level court that reviews decisions made by lower district courts. Its primary role is to determine whether the law was correctly applied and to ensure fair legal processes. These courts do not hold trials or hear new evidence; instead, they evaluate written arguments and records from previous cases. Federal Appeals Courts are important for maintaining consistent legal interpretations across the country and can affirm, reverse, or modify lower court decisions. They serve as an essential part of the judicial system, ensuring justice and the proper application of federal law.
