Appellate Division
The Appellate Division is a part of the judicial system that reviews decisions made by lower courts. Its primary function is to ensure that the law was applied correctly and that legal procedures were followed. This division does not conduct new trials but instead examines the records and arguments from the original case.
In many jurisdictions, the Appellate Division is divided into several panels of judges who evaluate appeals. These judges consider written briefs and may hold oral arguments to clarify points. Their decisions can affirm, reverse, or modify the lower court's ruling, impacting the interpretation of law in future cases.
