Minnesota Court of Appeals

The Minnesota Court of Appeals is an intermediate appellate court that reviews decisions made by lower courts, such as district courts, to ensure the law was applied correctly. It handles cases involving criminal, civil, and administrative law, and can affirm, reverse, or modify those decisions. Its role is to provide a fair, efficient process for resolving legal disagreements, helping ensure justice and consistency in Minnesota’s judicial system. The court does not conduct trials but reviews the record from lower courts to determine if legal errors occurred.
