Federal Appeals

Federal Appeals

Federal appeals offer a vital opportunity to review decisions made by federal trial courts. These appeals focus on identifying and addressing legal errors, misinterpretations, or procedural issues that could have impacted the outcome of a case.

Unlike trials, federal appeals do not re-examine evidence but instead review how the law was applied. If you believe an error occurred in your federal civil case, understanding the appellate process is essential.
