Appellate Law
What is Appellate Law?
Appellate law is the process by which court cases are reviewed in a specialized court. Every legal case begins with a trial, either criminal or civil in nature.
When a final judgment is made or the case is dismissed, any party that is unsatisfied with the outcome of the case may file an appeal. The appeal court does not hear new evidence or retry cases; rather, these courts review the lower court judgment to determine whether proper procedures were followed and if the proper laws and penalties were applied.
In some cases, an appellate court may clarify the interpretation of statutes as they apply to the original trial, and in other cases, a new trial may be granted or conviction overturned.
