Understanding the Appellate Court System

In civil law cases, including many business construction and insurance matters, the purpose of an appellate court is to allow a party to contest a ruling that he, she, or it feels is unfair or incorrectly reached. The appellate court will review the proceedings of the trial court to determine whether or not the lower court’s conclusions properly applied the law.

If an appellate court determines that the trial court violated procedural or legal guidelines, it may choose to reverse the original verdict or remand the case back for reconsideration.
