Tennessee Court of Appeals

The Tennessee Court of Appeals is an intermediate appellate court in Tennessee that reviews decisions made by trial courts. Its role is to evaluate whether the law was applied correctly in those cases. The Court does not conduct new trials or hear new evidence; instead, it examines written arguments, or briefs, from both sides and issues rulings based on legal principles. It helps ensure fair legal proceedings by providing a check on trial court decisions and is an essential part of Tennessee's judicial system.
