An appeal is a procedure through which the losing party in the
trial court seeks to have that court's judgment or order
overturned by a higher court because of some alleged error in
the proceedings. Some appeals are "permissive," or accepted
at the choice of the appellate court. Other appeals are "appeals
of right." These are appeals which are guaranteed, such as a
defendant's right to appeal a criminal conviction.
Generally, the issues raised on appeal involve complex
interpretations of the law. Occasionally, appeals involve
questions of fact what actually happened but this does not
occur often because appellate courts must usually rely on the
factual determinations that the circuit court or jury has already
made.
Sometimes an appeal may be taken before the case even goes
to trial. A party can appeal unfavorable pre-trial rulings (like
suppression of evidence). These are called "interlocutory
appeals" and the case is put on hold until these questions are
answered. As most interlocutory appeals are permissive,
appellate courts often do not accept them.
An appellate court is by definition a court that reviews
decisions made by other courts. It is not the place to start a
case or introduce new evidence. The appellate court considers
only the written record of what occurred in the circuit court
and the arguments made by the parties in written briefs and
oral argument.
The final appellate court decision will either: (1) affirm, (2)
reverse, or (3) modify a judgment or order of the lower court.
Let our team of experts handle your appeal. And remember
that the primary function of the Court of Appeals is to correct
errors that occurred at the trial court level. The published
opinions of the Court are binding precedent until overruled by
the Supreme Court, or the Court of Criminal Appeals and the
Supreme Court has recognized that the Court of Appeals has a
"law defining and law development" function.
Sometimes trial courts and juries make mistakes. This means
that many cases will eventually find themselves in appellate
proceedings. With no ability to cross examine witnesses or
introduce any new evidence appellate lawyers have to rework
the existing evidence and testimonies; then present it in a
compelling manner to convince appellate justices of the validity
of their client’s cause. Let our team of experts handle your
appeal because we care about your legal needs!
