Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review

The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court of Review is a specialized court that reviews decisions made by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC). When the FISC approves or denies surveillance requests related to national security and foreign intelligence, parties can appeal to this higher court if they believe the decision was incorrect or unjustified. The Court of Review ensures that surveillance practices comply with legal standards and protects individual rights while allowing needed intelligence gathering. It functions as an appellate court, providing an additional layer of oversight in sensitive national security matters.
