U.S. Court of Appeals

The U.S. Court of Appeals is a federal court that hears appeals from lower courts, such as district courts. When someone believes a legal decision was incorrect, they can appeal to the Court of Appeals for a review. This court doesn’t conduct new trials but instead examines the records and arguments from the original case to determine if errors were made in interpreting the law. There are 13 Courts of Appeals, each covering different regions, and their decisions can be significant, as they can set legal precedents affecting future cases.
