appellate review

**appellate review**

Appellate review refers to the process by which a higher court examines the decision or judgment made by a lower court to determine if legal errors were made that could affect the outcome. This review focuses on the application and interpretation of the law, rather than re-evaluating factual evidence. It is a critical part of the judicial system, ensuring fairness, consistency, and the correct application of legal principles across cases.
