How to file an appeal in court
An appeal refers to a judicial process that asks
the court system to reevaluate a decision that
has been rendered by a lower court system this
happens when a plaintiff fills that the decision
rendered by the judge or the jury was
unfavorable. During this part of the case, a
person who may have been found guilty of
committing a crime such as burglary,
manslaughter, assault and battery, money
laundering, murder etc. can ask that their case
be reevaluated with the hope that the previous
decision can be overturned.

is unfavorable, you have a constitutional right
to initiate an appeal. The higher court will be
obliged to reevaluate the entire judicial
process this involves a review of the entire
judicial arrangement that was used during your
previous trial. The purpose of the said review is
to check whether there was any error that got
rendered when your particular decision was
arrived at. Should the appellate judge discover
there was an error in the process, they could
reverse the previous decision.
