Louisiana Court of Appeal

The Louisiana Court of Appeal is a higher court that reviews and decides whether legal errors occurred in lower court cases, such as those at the district or city courts. Its role is to ensure the law was correctly applied and that fair procedures were followed. The court does not re-examine factual evidence but considers whether legal mistakes affected the case's outcome. Louisiana has four appellate districts, each serving specific regions. The Court of Appeal's decisions can be challenged further in the Louisiana Supreme Court. This system helps maintain legal consistency and justice across the state.
