Civil appeals are legal processes where a party seeks to challenge a decision made by a lower court in a civil case. This process allows the higher court to review the case for errors in the application of law or procedure. The goal is to ensure that justice is served and that the law is applied correctly. During a civil appeal, the appellant, or the party appealing, submits written arguments, known as briefs, to the appellate court. The opposing party, called the appellee, also presents their arguments. The appellate court then makes a decision, which can affirm, reverse, or modify the lower court's ruling, ensuring fairness in the legal system.
