Appellate Court Litigation in Knoxville
Different from trial courts, appellate courts review documentation related to the proceedings of a trial court to determine if laws were applied correctly and rulings were fair. Following a criminal or civil case, a person who feels that a ruling was unfair can hire an appellate lawyer to appeal to a higher court.
