Concept information

Preferred term

appeal/appellate  

Definition

  • When people think of court cases, almost everyone focuses on trial courts, where a judge presides over the hurly-burly interactions among a defendant, jurors, witnesses, a possible victim, a prosecutor, and a criminal defense attorney. This image has been fostered by popular culture, including books, magazines, and television programs. [Source: Encyclopedia of Crime and Punishment; Appeal/Appellate]
