US Court of Appeals

The US Court of Appeals is a federal court that reviews cases appealed from lower courts, such as district courts. It ensures the law was applied correctly and considers whether legal procedures were followed. There are multiple circuits, each covering a specific geographic area. These courts do not conduct trials or hear new evidence; instead, they review the records and legal arguments from the lower courts. Their decisions can affirm, reverse, or modify those rulings. The US Court of Appeals helps ensure consistent and fair interpretation of federal laws across the country.
