An appeal is a legal process that allows a party to challenge a lower court’s decision by seeking a review from a higher court. An appeal focuses on reviewing legal issues and potential errors in the lower court’s application or interpretation of the law, rather than on reevaluating the entire case or considering new evidence. Parties submit written arguments, known as briefs, and may present oral arguments before the appellate court. The appellate court reviews the briefs, examines relevant legal principles, and renders a decision that can affirm, reverse, or remand the lower court’s decision.
