Appeals
After a decision is rendered in a civil or criminal law trial by a trial judge or jury, a party who believes that a legal ruling was not only unfavorable, but can prove that the issue involves a substantial question as to the application of the law has the right to have the decision reviewed by a higher court. Appellate Law (also known as appeals process or appellate procedure) consists of the rules and practices by which higher courts review lower court judgments.
Most Appellate Law is different than other forms of litigation in the respect that there is no formal discovery, and the appellate record is limited to what was already presented to the trial court. An appeal is presented to a multi-judge appellate panel and is decided almost entirely on the written briefs.
Some District Court Appeals such as small claims matters and criminal law are appealed de novo, which means you have the ability to have your case retried in the Circuit Court.
