Appellate Courts are specialized courts that review decisions made by lower courts. Their primary function is to ensure that the law was applied correctly and that legal procedures were followed. These courts do not conduct trials; instead, they evaluate the records of the case and the arguments presented by both parties. In the appellate process, a party dissatisfied with a lower court's ruling can file an appeal. The Appellate Court then examines the case for legal errors and can affirm, reverse, or remand the decision. This process is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the judicial system and ensuring justice.
