What Should I Know About the Appeal Process?


Appellate law is a specialized branch of the legal profession. During a civil or criminal trial, a final judgment is made based on the evidence presented. Any party unsatisfied with the outcome or the terms of this judgment has the ability to file an appeal.


Appellate courts hear these appeals, and while they don’t always hear new evidence or retry the original case, their role is to review the case and the judgment handed down.


During the review, they seek to determine whether applicable laws were followed and that proper procedures were conducted. In some appeals, the court may seek to offer clarification of laws and statutes relevant to the original case.

Civil appeals and criminal appeals law cases can be extremely complex legal affairs, and unfortunately, errors in judgment during the original trial do occur. Not every decision handed down by a court will be fair or just, and there is also the possibility that the circumstances of an appeal case may need regular revision or changes in tactics.


New witnesses may come forth and new evidence may come to light, necessitating a re-evaluation of the case and possibly a revision–or even a reversal–of the original ruling. It is under these circumstances that Illinois appeal lawyer Mr. David Lewarchik can be of great assistance.
