Illinois Appellate Court

The Illinois Appellate Court is a high-level court that reviews decisions made by lower trial courts. Its main role is to ensure that laws were applied correctly and that legal procedures were followed. If someone believes a trial court made an error, they can ask the appellate court to examine the case. The Illinois Appellate Court does not hold trials or hear new evidence; instead, it reviews the record from the trial court to determine if legal mistakes were made and whether the outcome should be changed. It functions as an important step in ensuring justice and proper legal process.
