Homonym: appeals (Requests)
An appeal is a request made to a higher authority to review and change a decision made by a lower authority. In legal contexts, this often involves a party asking a higher court to reconsider a ruling made by a lower court. Appeals can be based on various grounds, such as errors in the application of the law or procedural mistakes during the original trial.
In addition to legal settings, appeals can also occur in other areas, such as marketing or public speaking. For example, a speaker may use emotional or logical appeals to persuade an audience. Similarly, advertisers often create appeals to attract consumers to their products or services.
