Appeal Definition
A written request made after a trial, asking another court (usually the court of appeals) to review the trial court's decisions. The party filing the appeal is called the "appellant" or "petitioner." The other party is called the "appellee" or "respondent." Appellate courts typically decide only whether a legal mistake was made in the trial court and whether the mistake changed the outcome of the case.
