Los Angeles Court of Appeal

The Los Angeles Court of Appeal is part of California's judicial system, specifically handling appeals from lower trial courts. When a party believes a trial court's decision was unfair or legally incorrect, they can appeal to this court. The Court of Appeal reviews the case's records and legal arguments but does not conduct new trials or hear new evidence. Instead, it decides whether to uphold, modify, or overturn the original decision. This court plays a crucial role in interpreting laws and ensuring justice is applied consistently across the state.
