Appeals

State and federal trial courts provide appeal from administrative and arbitration decisions. Appellate and state supreme courts allow appeal from trial court decisions. Legal appeals serve a number of important policy objectives, which include:

1. Review of legal errors: Legal appeals provide a mechanism for reviewing the decisions of lower courts or administrative bodies to ensure that they were made in accordance with the law. This helps to prevent errors from being made or perpetuated.
2. Protection of individual rights: Legal appeals can be used to protect the rights of individuals who may have been unfairly treated by the lower court or administrative body. Appeals can provide an opportunity for these individuals to have their case reviewed by a higher court, which may result in a more favorable outcome.
3. Clarification of legal principles: Legal appeals can help to clarify legal principles and establish legal precedent. This can help to guide future decisions and ensure that similar cases are decided in a consistent and fair manner.
4. Promotion of fairness and justice: Legal appeals promote fairness and justice by providing a mechanism for correcting errors and ensuring that decisions are made in accordance with the law.
5. Accountability of decision-makers: Legal appeals hold decision-makers accountable for their actions and ensure that they are held to a high standard of professionalism and competence.
