Concept information

Preferred term

appellate courts  

Definition(s)

  • Appellate courts are a nearly ubiquitous part of the legal systems of the world. Though courts of appeal in many countries may lack the legal drama that makes trial courts a focus of popular attention, appellate judicial bodies have long been a fixture of scholarly attention for the way they embody and reflect the philosophies, cultures, and norms in society.
